The World Today

Does anyone have the music of The World Today's first incarnation...the first flags era? There's a video clip of it over at TV World, but I'm after the music and, if possible, the headline bed.

Is that 1998 or 95? If it's 98 the music is at Isonstine's site @

Yeah the 98's available at Isonstine.plus.com

Has anyone else noticed the similarity between the 1998 World Today theme and World Business Report on News 24?? Almost like-to-like!

no...i'm after 95 you see...i already have 98

ah .. can't help you I'm afraid...

Yeah, the World Business Report theme is about the only thing left that can remind you of the beautiful BBC World flags era.

Just a bit of information for you.

There were two BBC programmes on World. Newsdesk and The World Today. They both had very similar themes. In about 1995 or sometime around then, I think Newsdesk was dropped and they did a nice little remix of the theme for the World Today which survived.

It was probably around the same time that they also redid the main bulletin theme to make it sound a little different.

I'm not completely sure of those facts, but its right to my knowledge although I will happily be proved wrong.
