Looking for titles/composers (July 2005)

I originally started a similar thread on the TV Ark Forum, but it doesn't seem to have generated much interest (perhaps I'm the only one interested!!!). I am looking to put together a complete a list as possible of the titles and composers of the music used for the ITV and BBC Regional News. So far, I've found:

Channel Report used 'Local Report' by Dave Hewson, 'Headline' by Murray Munroe, and 'News Tomorrow' by Colin Baldry (not sure of exact dates).

The nightly trailor for TVS' Coast to Coast in the early 90's used 'News One' by Dave Hewson (I came accross this by accident)

Not sure of exact dates for these:

Grampian Tonight used 'Newscast' by P. Taylor
Meridian Tonight used 'Current Affairs 5 & 6' by David Dundas
Central News used 'Newsbreaks' by Dave Hewson and 'Today's News' by R. Cottle
Westcountry Live used 'On the pulse' by R. Cottle
HTV West News used 'News Channel' by P. Binding and S. Moore
Anglia News used 'Newstime' by G. Meredith
HTV Wales News used 'Boxroom' by D. Chang and D. Roswell

Can anyone else add to this list?

Thanks,

Presumably you have David Lowe down for the BBC stuff?

And a lot of BBC Regional music prior to the David Lowe corporate era was composed by Guy Michelmore. (He certainly did the pre-corporate Look East and Spotlight themes)

And yes that is the same Guy Michelmore who used to present Newsroom South East, and Weekend. (Son of Cliff Michelmore)
