Bernard Hoffer - MacNeil/Lehrer Variations, Theme: Part III

[@tnawcwvictoria]

God Bless You Robert MacNeil, Jim Lehrer & Gwen Ifill and Thank You for bringing your reports with TRUTH, honor and respect See ya soon in the great big sky

[@FireMadeFleshII]

RIP Robert MacNeil, Jim Lehrer, & Gwen Ifill. This theme, in addition to the theme from "Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego?", were the perfect bookend to a weekday in the 90s

[@scottleung9587]

Agreed!

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

Hear hear!!

[@Marcus71]

"Thanks for tuning in, we'll see you again on Monday! Good Night."

[@pyrcomics]

I love it too--but I also like the original theme with that cool guitar solo in the middle

[@AldenMoellerInc]

Same.

[@Marcus71]

Yep, I think I have heard of it before this came around.

[@carlsmith5156]

I can listen to this all night...

[@thomasrusso6461]

A theme like this has got so many wonderful music lines!! I was so into this theme when I was growing up

[@hasake8873]

I would love to have seen them playing this theme and the other version.

[@YooTuba]

This is my second favorite news theme ever, right behind Henry Mancini's 70s/ 80s "NBC Nightly News Theme."

[@danbasta3677]

Most interesting. Henry Mancini came from West Aliquippa here in Beaver County Western Pennsylvania, about 20 miles away from me whare I'm from.

[@RoundenBrown]

I love this theme; it's what I grew up with as a kid.

[@144wychwood]

Always loved this theme. Always tuned in near end of broadcast just to hear this.

[@GentleGiantAudio]

Of course this is Bernard Hoffer. Of course. Amazing memories.

[@andrewflores7359]

RIP Gwen Ifill

[@AlexS-et7wu]

Man, this sure brings me back to the late 80's as a kid.

[@ericcollins8794]

Rip jim Lehrer

[@doublebanana-de3dt]

Ah so wonderful!

[@scottleung9587]

FYI, this is the 1983-99 version of the theme - not that much different from the 1999-2006 revamp except for the extended intro.

[@lamarwest9467]

Twista sampled "Overnight Celebrity" from this.

[@june8508]

Fantastic!!!.. gave me the chills!

[@Wynstorm3]

wow this brings back memories of childhood! loved this then. still love it now.

[@lamaracwest8580]

Just a heavenly & dope theme song. XD

[@markasflood124]

Lamar AC West outstanding

[@stephanierossi2586]

After Square One TV(the end of Mathnet and credits)ended Newshour came on and this theme

[@TheDoof1]

You can download the entire album at Amazon for $8.99. It's $0.99 per song, and there are 14 variations of his theme. Granted, not all are strikingly similar to the one from the show, but they're worth sampling.

[@Marcus71]

❤ it!

[@frankrulli7449]

very unique

[@WizardOfHumor1989]

“For the first time in foreeeveeeerrrr.....”

The macneil lehrer newshour

[@melissabittle88]

PBS NewsHour Theme Song

[@lamarwest9467]

There is no reason for this theme to go that hard.

[@doctorwho2014]

Why is it Part 3? What are Parts 1 and 2?

[@AarHan3]

Doesn't hold a candle to the 1975-83 original.

[@peteradaniel]

Aaron Handy III Right on!! That was a funky mother!

[@thejazzenigma]

Aaron Handy III - Wish someone had the original.

[@AarHan3]

Here it is: americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip_507-gf0ms3kn9k

[@coffeestainedwreck]

+Aaron Thanks so much for sharing that link!

[@danbasta3677]

More likely because now since women are involved in broadcasting the news, EVERYTHING has gone down the tubes these days. Nothing today isn't any good nor worth bothering with any longer because women mess EVERYTHING up and cause all kinds of problems. Look how they caused many male broadcasters to loose their jobs and deliberately lied about being harassed just so they can get the man terminated from his job, then they step into the mans job. I've seen way to much of this happening today in this current world, and there should be a law against this sort of behavior from women. Women these days are nothing but discusting!

[@FooodSandwich]

Why did they change it? I know this wasn't even the original, but the versions they've used after this suck.
