This somewhat lengthy credit sequence from NBC Nightly News gives you a good opportunity to enjoy the theme music composed by Henry Mancini. This was recorded off-air on a Sony SL-7200 Betamax.
The original mono audio has been replaced with a STEREO version that is available on Henry Mancini's "The Theme Scene" album. As near as I can determine, it is the exact same recording, though there was an edit near the end that I had to duplicate in order to get it to match.

Back then NBC News had this really strange production habit of ending the program, running a few commercials, and then coming back live for the credits with the anchor sitting on a darkened set with no sound. It was awkward, and also it was giving the viewers a head start on finding another channel to watch. I don’t think it’s posted anymore, but there used to be a Nightly News on RU-vid where Jessica Savitch anchored and they clearly did not tell her when they were coming back live. She had her feet up or something, noticed she was live, and freaked out on the studio staff in the background behind the NBC copyright screen.

Henry did a great job. I think it’s NBC’s best news theme.

The news set was similar the ones used by NBC O&Os at the time (KNBC Los Angeles, WMAQ Chicago, WRC-TV Washington, D.C., WNBC-TV New York and WKYC Cleveland (yes, NBC used to own a station in Cleveland)).

I loved those fake ceilings after I learned how they were miniatures hung in front of the camera.

I remember hearing the news theme on tv back in the day. Then later when I heard the version released on record, it didn't sound the same to me at all. I am still keeping an eye out for an old video clip from back then that will include the music. I don't think any of us has it yet.

I hope y'all will reply to this if this was 1970 this must have been before the fall because the Proud N wasn't there

I’ve seen a clip with this music and Linda Ellerbee at the desk.

I've got some confidence when I say that the stereo theme was NOT the original recording - several instruments were much more subtle in the original 1977 recording. And I should know - I have the original theme from a trade!

Would love to hear the original!

Here you are, the original 150-second cut. Footage only there because the software I was using to export would not allow me to just upload audio on a blank screen@@VPR2B ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q0Lr-0z78Gg.html

@@RealC2rblx Thanks! Unfortunately, when I try to play it I receive a notice that it's blocked in the US due to copyrighted material. Maybe this has something to do with the video you used as placeholder?

@RealC2rblx 8 месяцев назад

You would be right, it turns out I cannot get away from the overlords of copyright, Paramount! Regardless, I uploaded it again. This is cut 1 of 6, with the final 2 cuts being of an unused logo for NBC, and the other cuts being a :33, :10, and :15 second version of the theme, in that order.@@VPR2B ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oaLpcW6q70g.html

@@RealC2rblx Thanks -- got it this time. It sounds pretty similar on first listen, but I'll download it and see if I can do some A/B comparisons with what I uploaded. As you're probably aware, the audio I pulled was from the Henry Mancini "The Theme Scene" LP, which is why it's in stereo. I always thought it sounded like the same recording, but could be wrong.

@FlyForB6 5 месяцев назад

In several recordings I’ve seen from this era it appears the full credits sequence is omitted (it returns from commercials straight to the NBC copyright card with abbreviated theme music). Did they not roll this after every broadcast?

@VPR2B 5 месяцев назад

I don't think it was rolled every night -- only when there was time. From what I remember though, at the very least there was usually a little bit of the music and the NBC News closing animation.

@erictravis5457 Месяц назад

If I remember correctly, they only played the full theme and rolled all credits on Friday evenings. I was 7 or 8 at the the time but lived this theme.
