Television News Theme Variants

Just out of interest, which do you prefer:

Variant A



Variant B


Variant C


Variant D


Variant E


Variant F


Variant G





I have to say, that’s some serious drum-work in Variant A. Living outside of the UK, I haven’t heard much of that variant until now. But it’s rather good!

The current day renditions and the election variant are also extremely good. I guess the election variant is my most favourite.

(And thanks to the authors of the clips and mocks for their kind use of the same).

I'd agree on variant B. They got it right in terms of the suitability to a news programme. Although, one you have not included is the one before the current one, in the "yellow" set and I quite liked that one.

Yes, you got two themes for the price of one with they 2009 version. There is so much I love about the 2009-2013 look and sound. Of those posted it is between 2004 and the current theme - wasn't a fan of the 2006 reworking.

Talking of that theme though I've been watching Big Brother USA 16 last week and seemed to find myself humming that 2009 ITV theme at the end of most episodes - IMO it is pretty similar to the build up to that ITV News close.
