Are you referring to the various closing themes Sky News Australia's using? I saw quite a handful on Youtube and they are great.

I have to agree with you here, the original 2005 package was so much better than the 2006 trash.


then why is it so sacred to you!!!

Sky News Australia Play of lots of the beds from the original 2005 music some of you have probably never heard!

Interestingly most of the sky package uses 2 beds and just a different drum loop, but it makes them sound so different... But now there's "bed 3" which is awful IMO.

Bed 3 is so bland. It has no depth what so ever. Its just a loop of some random sound with the odd crash. Bring back Bed 2 I say.

I very much doubt that was a mistake, there were probably orders to try it out. Its obvious they're trying to erase the 2005 package. It didn't work and it didn't matter becasue it was 3am in the morning.

This type of thing was used on Monday or Tuesday night at the 11pm hour, the normal headline bed started then faded out, then the top stories one started.
When you listen to the 2005 package it is so much better, has much more umph! if you get what i mean Laughing
I also find the toth a bit boring now, i want a nice globe inspired one.

It was a mistake, the total toth ident and everything was a mistake and all wrong. and besides, they don't use the top stories bed for the toth headline bed.
