ITN NEWS MUSIC - 1990

I've finally stumbled across this piece of classic ITN music from the late 80's, early 90's and I am trying to find out who composed it. If anyone has any info, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Many thanks

Alan Hawkshaw, I think. MusicHouse Library.

Hate to say this, but it sounds a little too sober for Alan Hawkshaw. Early 1990s Early Evening News, and ITN News at 12.30 were definitely his. But the late 80s Weekend/Morning News doesn't sound like one of his. Feel free to prove me wrong, and point me to the right track, but if memory serves, Alan Hawkshaw also did Treasure Hunt as well, which fits in the same kind of vein.

Yeah, I don't think this is Alan Hawkshaw either, but happy to be proved wrong.

Also, I'm fairly certain the Treasure Hunt theme (Peak Performance) was written by Zack Lawrence (unless that's a pseudonym)?

Peak Performance was definitely Zack Laurence, it's also a library track intrestingly. Had a chat to him on the phone a few years back about Rock Revolution and Forcefield.

On the subject of old ITN themes, does anyone have any idea who composed the original 1982 Channel 4 News theme? I don't think it lasted very long - it was replaced by the more familiar Alan Hawkshaw piece that's still being used (albeit re-recorded) today.
