BEST NEWS THEME EVER!!!!!! Sounds like it's from a movie. But then again it WAS composed by a movie composer (John Williams). Nice shot at the end with all the birds flying across with the final rise in the music and the one flying across at the very end and the soft melody.

I,ve always loved this classic NBC NIGHTLY NEWS (1985-2004)from the Tom Brokaw era although like most kids later teens & early adults NEVER CARED FOR THE NEWS UNLESS SOMETHING HISTORIC HAPPENED BAD 😞😔 OR 😊 GOOD! Anyway I remember when NBC NIGHTLY NEWS used to air on WMAR TV CH.2 when it was NBC from 1981-1995.Then of course NBC moved back to WBAL TV CH.11 while ABC moved from WJZ TV CH.13 to WMAR TV CH.2 & CBS moved from WBAL TV CH.11(1981-95)to WJZ TV CH.13!! In most of 5O of my 52 years living in Minnesota for 7 years & 43 years in Baltimore MD-I also loved hearing NBC NIGHTLY NEWS theme from 1977-79 the John Chancellor David Brinkley era & THIS THEME from the Tom Brokaw era & ABC,S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT THEME FROM 1978 the Frank Reynolds Max Robinson Peter Jennings era & OMG I CANNOT FORGET the Today Show theme from 1978-81 during the Tom Brokaw Jane Pauley era!!
