I don't like the newer, updated version of "The Mission". I loved it when they had a long close like this.

@kyle1081 ...That favorite bit begins at 0:59 for me...when the first slide trombone sounds Baa Da Da Daaaa Ba Daa Daa Daaaa!

@2000Ajjet I hope you guys have a quick recovery from the earthquake... it  was distressing to see from here. I'm sure the Cathedral will be made right. Your country is lovely indeed, watched a globetrekker show the other day from NZ... best regards,

@irish89055 ...yeah same...TV3 had the rights to NBC and 'The Mission', Usually the Friday evening news got the 'long close' and in New Zealand's case, used long shot scenery of the country and the main cities, (including, sadly now, a lovely shot of Christchurch Cathedral), finishing with an ariel above cloud shot of the sun going down behind Mt Cook, our tallest...Have written to TV3 to post it up but they've lost the video.

@AlexCherr72 hi Alex... good reply, had no idea you guys get network newcasts, esp then.. I love this theme of all the many I've listened to here in the states, sadly there is not time built in for long closes today. Even then it was rare, maybe once a week or two. Tom Brokaw was prob in the Washington studio that night. Yes, halcyon days, mid 90's... I miss them for many reasons, even if Clinton was president...

I think that this song used NBC News Today's theme

I just came from DC two weeks ago and this came in mind.

"The Mission" NBC News Theme by John Williams

@SanAntonioNews78 you said it, San Antonio..... sadly the nightly tradional network broadcasts are dying, few under age 40 ever watch...or read a newspaper..

The one idiot that disliked this theme must have no taste or whatever, of classical news themes like this!

[irish89055]

wonderful to come again and hear this great theme that cannot be played at this length today due to corporate greed ...
