Lookin' back on it, man the 80s were just magical; I just wanna go back to those days and live there forever..

I liked it when they had the national montage at the end. Today, they have New York way too often for the close.

@phantomlord54 they were nice, esp late 80's into the early 90's... cold war basically over, hope for change before the new millenium.. ughhh

This theme also uses the today show and NBC news at sunrise theme as well.my favorite news theme to a tribute to my favorite composer John Williams!

Giza Pyramids Slow moving clouds Haystack Rock, Oregon Sweeping shot of San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge Saguaro cactus Windmill Bird flying Hagia Sophia, Istanbul Sunset on farm Seascape Tree/blue sky/orange sun Fixed shot of San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge Rushing clouds Statue of Liberty

Tom Brokaw and the News Temple of Doom and Gloom

Always loved this theme, 1980s! America at the height of her power! Reagan on top, USSR spiralling downward.

Har, har, the US is now an non-free nanny-state., Baby-boomers will never realize this, as they grew up in a free country (at the time). Hopefully, their golden years will be turned to coal (Santa knows what you did). And you were bad and shouldn't get away with it....

I am mad that the only reason that I watched NBC Nightly News was because of Tom Brokaw.

Pure class.
