NBC Nightly News theme music close - aka The Mission Part I by John Williams

Sort of sounds like music from the Olympics!

First time I've heard the entire piece. NBC has always had a great full orchestra closing. I remember the closing theme with Huntley and Brinkley (Good night Chet, Good night David, and good night from NBC News) and the piece from I believe Beethovan would start. Friday nights were really a treat because they would usually play the song in its entirety. CBS hasn't had a good one in awhile.

@Nighthawk4494 saw him playing it live on MSNBC. Agreed, I love this and the CBS Evening News themes. Much better than the ABC or BBC themes. "Brought to You in LIving Color on NBC."
