"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted November 7, 1954 on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

It's All Just Ahead On Face The Nation.

[@jtgh922]

Amazing! This might be my new favorite tv news theme song. I think it would work on CBS This Morning as well.

[@Lafayette320]

After some 60 years, CBS is now surpassing NBC for the best news themes!

[@BenFoldsFan421]

I really dig stuff like this it’s neat to see how things like News music and radio jingles and TV commercial music and things are done… It’s something that people may not really pay that much attention about so it’s kind of fascinating that all of the different kinds of music for example, people had to go into a recording studio and play this… It’s cool

Good Morning And Welcome To Face The Nation! I'm Jazzi

[@joansnow4013]

I do miss John, music is cool! Wish you the best Margret

[@sheliasmith9326]

I Like This Song!

[@kevsuc]

The new music theme puts a special emphasis on seriousness or importance level of weekly politics discussion, in which I like it! But, the old theme offers a friendly sound and less dramatic orchestral effects which is really perfect for a Sunday morning show. Cannot decide which two are better...

[@lordtourettes7690]

This one kinda sounds like the old 90s theme

[@latintvman09]

Specifically, the 1991 theme composed by Chuck Loeb of Score Productions... yeah, it does have some similar soundings.

My Favorite FACE THE NATION Host will Always Be Bob Schieffer

[@DonDonP1]

Cool! Although, that tune almost reminded me of the two Dennis McCarthy-composed "Star Trek" tunes: the theme from "Deep Space Nine" and the overture to "Generations." Thanks for the share and congrats to Margaret Brennan on her new role as host!

[@ardentabacist]

wonderful!

[@tony84.]

Really good theme for Face the Nation. CBS Evening News also had a great theme and the changed it! Why?

[@Arashi_92]

Too bad you can't download this and the previous themes on mp3 format

[@sheliasmith9326]

That's All We Have For Today, Thank You For Watching Until Next Week, For Face The Nation? I'm Tintin.

[@sheliasmith9326]

I'm Iro From Washington And This Sunday On Face The Nation.

[@timerunner3492]

Nice! I like it.

[@alexisrodriguez9071]

Great

[@sheliasmith9326]

Good Morning And Welcome To Face The Nation. I'm Scrooge McDuck.

[@dantramon]

Reminds me of the opening fanfare of the musical "Gypsy", with a slightly different rhythm. Proving that news is theatre.

[@JHP2001]

*This song plays* *News man says* "Now back to your regularly scheduled f*ckery"

[@sheliasmith9326]

Good Morning Welcome To The Face The Nation. I'm Pibby.

[@sheliasmith9326]

That's All We Have For Today, Thank You For Watching, We'll See Next Sunday, For Face The Nation? I'm Iro From Washington.

[@sheliasmith9326]

That's All We Have For Today. Thank You For Watching, Until Next Week , For All Face The Nation? I'm Scrooge McDuck From Washington.

[@sheliasmith9326]

This Is CBS News Face The Nation With Scrooge McDuck

[@abinashmishra329]

I like the old theme better. I like the old host better.

[@RickyPaquiot284]

*Sometimes, TV networks need to explore other options. You may hate it but they have to change it to keep the ratings.*

[@deviousxen]

Turning the Media into Star Wars is so dumb and disgusting. THIS ISNT A MOVIE ITS A PANDEMIC. AND THE MUSICAL THEMES ON THE NEWS ARE TOO ABSURD WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS ORANGE. Like, yeah, good quality, but make the soundtrack for a movie and stop over dramatizing what is already dramatic. It's unethical and horrid. This isn't a TV show, it's the news media. 'Face the Nation' Was named by someone with anime logic or a world wrestler. It's like when a politician uses Kayfabe. Fakest nonsense ever. Made Trump getting sick hilarious tho.
