It's just a shame the same 5 tracks have been used since the launch of this package, according to the composers there are at least 30 cuts! Outside of the music and the set, CBS has very little going for it's network offering.
CBS have certainly made some strange choices as far as their news music goes in recent years, so it’s a real shame when unused little snippets like this appear and sound so good!
The CBS Mornings theme has grown on me but it’s very jarring hearing it mixed in with the old CBS This Morning Eye Opener theme, especially when the latter is far superior to the CBS Mornings package. Then, they spent a good five year period from the 2016 US election getting the vast majority of their news music to sound vaguely consistent with a consistent three note logo, only for CBSN to relaunch with a five note logo! Plus there’s the general tinkering with the CBS Evening News theme - every five years they seem to flip flop on whether they want to use the heritage theme or do something different.
