Bit bored so thought I'd start another poll. So, just out of interest which of these channels has the best music ? Sorry if I've missed any out. Post your reasons for your vote here.

seeing as i only ever watch bbc news i have to vote for it.
BBC1 News is by far the best of the generic BBC News theme tunes. It's something you can hum along to because the 'beeps' are far more obvious. But as for news24. That one is so boring.
BBC World! It sounds like-ish the BBC News standard one but with a couple of extra booms and an extra beep at the end. I must admit that I don't particularly like the BBC N24 one, that 'Beeeeow' sound at the start really annoys me. Well, I know what I mean by that anyway :
I love all the BBC World tunes! Especially the advert filler, and even the 10 second countdown! By the way, is it only a 10 second countdown, or is their a longer version?
I'd rather have the News 24 music than the One music. At least it has a bit of life in it!
But to be honest I'm not a fan of any of the current BBC News themes, so my vote went to Sky News.
The current themes they have introduced are really original, the chanting is fantastic and it's just excellent IMO!
I've always liked the Channel 4 News theme.
Newsnight is a nice theme but a bit too serious for my liking.
I've always liked the CNN US music but you've missed out Bloomberg and CNBC, who have some of the most fantastic music around.
I didn't consider Bloomberg or CNBC to be as widely known as the other themes so never even considered them. I have to say, that the Sky music is the worst of the lot, it doesn't seem at all fitting to the programme, it's not nearly as dramatic as the other themes.
It may surprise you but I didn't vote for News 24, I actually went for Channel 4 News !
