It was always interesting to me that after 9/11, the special report intros all went blood red for their backgrounds.

@Lemon6 there was a study done not long before that, saying that red was the color most likely to grab ppl's eyes. It was from fast food companies if I remember correctly,& is why almost all of them have some version of red in their signs & presentation

When John Williams wrote the NBC News themes in 1985, this one was chosen for special reports; we referred to it in the newsroom as the "(stuff) hits the fan" music.

At some point, NBC News decided to settle on the "Meet the Press" theme, indirectly making it the one sound you never want to hear anytime outside of Sunday morning.

That Meet the Press theme was composed by John Williams (E.T., Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter etc). It's part of an orchestral work entitled, "The Mission" and it's in 4 movements. John Williams was commissioned to write it for NBC. The 4 movements are: The Mission: Nightly News Fugue for Changing Times: Early Morning (not sure if still used, but amazing!) Scherzo for Today: Used to be for Today (some excerpts may be still used at times. Not 100%. Again, amazing!) The Pulse of Events: Meet the Press AND Special Report Edit: John Williams wrote the music for NBC Sunday Night Football too

Gulf merged with Chevron in 1984, but the brand was split between Chevron in the West, Cumberland Farms in the Northeast, and BP/Sohio in the South. Today Gulf Oil, LP (spun off from Cumberland Farms) owns the brand nationwide. The Canadian affiliate, British/American Petroleum, became Gulf Canada, and later sold its downstream business to Petro Canada.

Gulf Oil was headquartered in Pittsburg Pa and had a big refinery in Port Arthur Texas. They were a major driller and producer in the Gulf of Mexico. On a personal note, several times my mother flew back and forth to Pittsburg on their plane (a DC 3) that was kept at Hobby Airport in Houston. My dad's employer was a service co to Gulf and they told him if she ever wanted to go to Pittsburg, just call and they would tell her when the next flight was. Boy those days are long gone - lol.

You can also hear Bill Hanrahan on a number of the special reports in the late 70s. He retired in 1982 and was succeeded by Howard Reig. Mr Hanrahan was also one of two NBC annoucers who subbed for Don Pardo on SNL; the other was Mel Brandt

You have it turned around. Sponsors buy time on popular programs to sell their products to the television viewing audience. It has nothing to do with the the network paying its bills.
