I would have thought that ITV would have had it first. But as ITV News music is library I think any organisation that holds an appropriate MCPS license can use it.
ITV started using the new version of the music in February, but I believe VI News only started using it last week (Oct 11?), with a new presenter joining the station (Hudson Mack, seen in the video) and a subsequent revamp on the newscast format.
VI News used to use the Citytv/Channel 5 format, where the presenter always reads the news standing up (and indeed the station shares the same owner with Citytv).
That is very odd. Only a few months ago I asked if, if someone wanted they could license the music as it is library music and it seems someone did.
Why exactly didn't ITV/ITV compose their own music, like the BBC has rather than getting some composed but licensing it from KPM?
Must be rather odd if anyone from Vancouver comes over hear and watches the news.
God the anchor man is cheesy. The difference between US and UK presenters/anchor people is that UK people are real journalists, whereas Us (mostly) are just people reading autocue and smiling.
This isn't the first time that this has happened, as I do remember that there was a Radio Station in the West part of America that used the same theme tune as ITV News for it's News, though this was the old theme that they got rid of in February. Though I always thought that the music was created for ITV/ITN, as the theme to an extent does go back a long way in time.
They did have it especially done but the composers under the terms of the agreement released it on KPM. More accurately, they licenced it from KPM's composers especially and it went on library (KPM releases music to the channels)... if that makes any sense!!!
