Here's something new from the Philippines...
TV Patrol (ABS-CBN) is one of our primetime newscast, and it is hosted once again by some of the veteran anchors in the country. Though I don't know if you'll like these flashy graphic presentation.

I recently posted a description of TV Patrol from a book written in the early 1970s. Do you know if there are any clips from that era online?

The Day in Events, local news from NTM from Yaroslavl, Russia, with some rather rememberable and well-known music (and also the TOG and round table, but from other source). Although this is a recent opener, the uploader needed to record it on VHS to put it on the Web, so pardon for the quality. And of course, for the video server - there really was no need to re-upload it.

Speaking of British news themes being used abroad, here is a 1979 news special from CBC in Canada using the BBC Panorama theme (actually a French movie score called Aujourd'hui C'est Toi ):

Another interesting compilation of various US local news intros from the 1980s and 1990s (not in chronological order):

I miss the old theme. Who composed it? (and do you have clean version of it)

A unified high-definition graphics package and studio was rolled out across Canada's Global Television Network on its local newscasts.

This is an example of what you'd see on the local news at Global TV's larger markets.

I like it overall. The look of the virtual set goes against the global trend towards more elegant, minimalistic design, but I think it works (and it showcases HDTV well):

DR's TV Avisen got its latest look on September 15 this year. ( http://www.dr.dk/DR1/TVAVISEN/2010/0915132253.htm ) Here's the highlights of it.

[quote="whoiam989" pid="687997"]Here's TV Sarajevo's news intro from the 1980s, when Bosnia-Herzegovina was still one of the six republics making up Yugoslavia:

And the (in)famous TV Belgrade news intro -- excellent in terms of design but closely associated with Miloševiæ's propaganda machine:

I wonder if DR's new music was composed by David Lowe or just *ahem* "inspired" by his style.
His site lists TV2 in Norway among his clients, but not DR.



Hmm - if he didn't then I think the composer who did must have listened to his score for the BBC a fair few hundred thousand times, to get it sounding very close it it!
