The golden age of Sportscenter. When it was just guys talking about sports and not overly ego minded former players and coaches running their mouth. It was genuine.
@jerms819 - do you have the whole theme that is played from 6:43 to 7:49......and if so, could you post it. If you not, could you tell me where to find it? Thanks
6:53 is where it's at.......this theme takes me back to the 6/5pm edition of SportsCenter from 1995-2001- & any former anchor will tell you that was the best time to work for ESPN. They weren't a corporate shill, selling out advertising anyway they could on air, and they had fun. I miss those days.......& for those of you out there that missed those broadcasts - you missed the golden age of ESPN/SportsCenter!!!! It is a shell of it's former-self.....and now goes thru workers like a meat grinder.
@jmarkhinton Research indicates April of 1994 to August of 2000.
Also, this particular theme (with that beginning) was used for ESPN radio, if I recall correctly. The actual theme used for the Sportscenter TV intro was different (and can easily be found). However, parts of the theme here were used during the teasers/previews before they went to commercial.
Also, I thought it was 6:30 eastern? Unless it changed at some point during that period.
here's a question. Does jerms or anyone have the New SportsCenter Bump music they play during the Morning live SportsCenters. It's almost a jazzy/hip hop type theme with a nice back beat and horns. I wish they would use it more or someone could point me to anyone who may have this great music.
the themes after the 5:00 are more of the vintage themes..Which I think those are best. Nothing beats Dan Patrick and Craig Kilborn/Olbermann talking about Chicago's 3 peat of the early 90's
I'm disappointed that they don't have one of the new sportscenter themes can't describe which one it is but it's one of them they play before going to a commercial break and showing previews of what's coming up later in the show. It's never played in the live morning SC though but the others.
thebigfiz, i cant believe its already 30 years. where has time gone. i remember when the 70s were 30 years ago, when 1995 was 5 years past, i cant believe we're entering another decade. And this is the best sports show ever, i watch it every morning. top 10 plays baby
Does anybody know the song the use for golf sometimes? It's my favorite of all, the just recently used it for the final round of the British open and the first round of the Senior British open
wow Sporstenter has always had some sweet themes but after i heard the 90s-early 2000s I comletely 4got how sweet the used to be. I miss the old 90s styled theme songs to sports shows. They were the best in my opinion.
Anyone know what the tune is that Sportscenter use for their NBA game highlights recap? A very nice tune I've heard it about a hundred times they play it in the background with game highlights and live voiceover describing the action.
For clarification, the one I'm referring to is the second to last, and any of the other late 90's themes you can come up with/have... like the one with an electric sounding sax and heavy guitar.
Great stuff! Could you please post a video of just the late 90's themes. If you have the track, would it be possible to share the link and permit a download. I've looked everywhere for the late 90's theme by itself.
