News themes that refuse to die
#21

Ukrainian newscast TSN is still a used theme since 2000 that refuses to die.
youtu.be 
Moreover, a variation of the theme from 2008 has gone viral on TikTok, in POVs like "My bff and I share news about our universities" or "gossip about someone"
youtu.be 
And the latest variation from 2022, is a remix of the 2016 variation. However, the 2020 variation is still used in the outro.

I have been trying to find an example too, but alas, to no avail. It is called 'News Gathering' and was composed by none other than Alan Hawkshaw.

That's it! Thanks! 

I also cannot locate an example where it featured in Euronews but it most certainly did. I distinctly remember feeling confused when I heard it. Unbeknownst to me at that point was that ITN were involved in Euronews to some extent.

I have definitely seen a video of that theme being used on Euronews too, but it must have been taken down (I searched high and low across YouTube).

ITV Yorkshire didn't change up it's news theme very often. I think Calendar's only ever had three completely different theme tunes - one used from 1968 to the mid 1980s, then another used from the mid 1980s to 2004, and then the generic one based on the national ITV News theme.

I think the Tanzanian ITV has more of an idea about logos/presentation than our ITV…🤣

Reminds me of Central in the 80’s.

WPVI Phiidelphia have used the same theme since the mid 70s. (Bar a new version of Move Closer to Your World in 1996 which lasted for only TWO days before the 70s theme returned). That theme is now as much a Philadelphia landmark as the steps used for the scene in Rocky.
