BBC News Theme (Extended Full Mix) (Early 2023 Version)
Vložit

- A 10-minute extended version of the BBC News Theme, which includes the countdown, opens, closes, and idents, using as much audio as possible that can be found on BBC News/BBC World News.
This is an updated version of the 2022 one I made which includes more tracks. The full list is below. I had this shelved for a while because I wanted to make a special video for it, but I don't really have much time to do that. BBC News is also expected to undergo further rebranding, which may include the audio identity / sonic branding, which is partly why I shelved it. However, I was a bit unhappy with the first one and I felt that this was a lot better in terms of the mix and quality of sources, and that's the main reason I put this out now.
Sources used:
0:00 2013 BBC News sombre countdown
0:58 2013 BBC News sombre close
1:56 2013 BBC News countdown Concert Mix
3:21 2012 BBC News special close (a.k.a. Olympics close, BBC News Bangla close)
4:19 2010 BBC News continuity ident
4:29 2013 BBC News Channel filler
(For the filler and the countdown, I've used new sources that get rid of the sound effects. Sorry if you liked them, but they were too distracting.)
5:36 2013 BBC News Channel / BBC World News 90 second countdown
(NC on the left, World on the right. I accidentally added a new beat change between the filler and the countdown. 2023 is the last year that you will hear the World News special identity, as the merger between News Channel and World News has happened.)
7:03 2013 BBC News headlines
8:06 2013 BBC News long intro (Studio E)
8:36 2008 BBC News extended outro
10:02 BBC News Countdowns Compilation (1999 - 2019) (FileBar/Jarrod Factor) (used as mix outro)
2021 BBC World News Breakdown Loop (used as main video graphics)
The composer of the BBC News theme is David Lowe and the orchestral part of the theme is performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Please note that this is an unofficial fanmade mix and was not released in any capacity by the BBC.

For 22 years I worked at the BBC in Glasgow as an Announcer-Director (we spoke and did all the vision and sound mixing for playout. Just one person at a time!). Often I had to get into the News Channel very late at night and whenever I possibly could I would pad with trails so that I was able to run the 'Theme' for 2 minutes and then opt smoothly into the top of the hour live. I often looked forward to that bit all night!!!
That's great
wow
Can I meet you sir ? Greethings from Turkey
Lots of people appreciated your efforts, sir!
Awesum. Listening to ur bit on BBC brings fond memories of my late husband too in the media as a Chief Editor in India.
You’ve got to admit it, it’s a banging tune
B usy
B anging
C hildren
🤬🤮
BBC news be hittin' em beats before announcing 2 kids found dead in a car accident
the news reporter: *dance during this anthem*..
director: and 3-2-1 we are live
the news reporter *stops dancing* "9 people died in an accident today"
It's hype you up 😎 that you don't digest bad news in a bad way
@@runemidgard938so funny you must be humorous 🙄
And still, strangely better than that intro ITV did.
" *Beat drops* Good Evening Paedophiles..."
I’m American but this is hands down the best news theme ever. Blows ours to complete shame.
Speaking as an American myself, I have to ask, what news theme?
@@blairbrown4812 all of ours pretty much lol
Anything anyone ever does is better than an American can do lol. That bar is low.
CBS might come close, but I don’t know of any major outlet that has had roughly the same theme.
It's kind of an apples and oranges thing: David Lowe's BBC theme is tech-driven with orchestrals, and John Williams' NBC theme is a strictly orchestral theme. Both are excellent.
I have never thought that one day i will love a News music theme ❤😂
Life is full of surprises...
This alone is worth paying the BBC licence fee.
😂😂 facts
true lol
This makes me want to pay the BBC fee. As I'm not british nor do I live on the British Isles, that's saying something.
The ONLY thing worth paying the license for XD
Fact! This theme has pretty much stayed the same for 23 years! Now that's saying something!....
It’s weird, because even though the BBC is in such a state currently, this makes you feel proud to have the BBC. But beyond that, it makes you feel proud to be British
Lol...😂
Lol can relate to the feeling. Same thing with the SABC here in South Africa.
So true
Amazing how this general theme has gone on in some form or another for over 20 years. Shows how good it really is.
If you get a chance, you should listen to the radio interview of the guy that created it. Very interesting
This theme blows away anything CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, or CNN produce in America
It really captures the seriousness of news. But touches on the emotional aspect too. The ticking of time too. It's really really creative
@@LankyScottyso true
What a great string and rhythm BBC Song.Just lovely and Upbeat.Good is Good.Kudos to it's Composers.❤
David Lowe (the composer) does awesome music.
Good tune brings tears to my eyes. Sometimes I feel overcome.
During the 1st lockdown my main exercise was getting up to have a little dance to this at the top of every hour 😅
That is good
Ur so real for that
Divine.... transcend you across the globe....the finest creation of music by humanity
If I close my eyes, I can imagine a live edition with Mr Bean, playing that one note, looking at his watch!
Pure class from Sir David Lowe
awesome music when u re working. I like most of the BBC remixes, but this one takes the cake. Will never get tired of listening this.
It definitely conveys a sense of meaning...
It's an insult that this has ads
Use an addblocker... its youtube doing it, not the uploader.
@@wardfiction5693 Quite agree - no ads at the start or half way through all because of a free ad-blocker
This mix itself deserves a grammy! I hope u get the recognition u deserve! 🙏🏽
I remember the first time I heard this, I went from "this is the BBC" to "this is a nightclub in England, that just happens to be in perfect precision"
I would watch bbc news every morning in Joburg before work. This music is forever on my mind. 🎉
"Good afternoon, Im Eric Lord, this is the BBC London"
In CZcams translator he translated it as, Buenas Tardes, yo soy Eric Lord, yo soy la BBC de Londres, in english, Good Afternoon, Im Eric Lord, I am the BBC London XD
This will never get old
Currently Playing this for my 2 year old as she sleeps! Makes me proud to be British! 🇬🇧
Super soothing. Amazing compilation. Thanks to you and the master, David Lowe, who so artistically created this classic theme, embedding blips and big drums. Could play it on loop for days!
It's exactly 25 years since this masterpiece was created and this will forever BANG.
Orchestra version does help a lot , with that grand and amazing entry of the tune. This mix is more to make it even dramatic , looks cinematic , more tense from the initial version of the BBC theme.
You mostly hear the softer orcestral version at the beginning of this upload on more sombre events, most famously for royal deaths, but I'd bet that other particularly tragic and/or shocking happenings may elicit its use as well.
I drive truck listening to this class👌from Ireland ❤
This is an incredible piece of work. I lived and worked in SIngapore for six years and watched BBC News all the time. But the TOTH theme would pick me up whenever I felt lonely. My youngest daughter loves it as well and dances around when ever she hears it. David Lowe is a very talented person.
I swear musicians and composers put so much effort into theme music in general and for what?? Literally just come into the studio one day, drop the track and peace tf out like they didn't just gift the masses some of the most epic bangers in the history of music. And it's all either for the six o'clock news or a kid's show. 💀💀 Like, SIRR???
They also do it with flash games😭
the better the music the more money
Guess this is the music we hear just before being told to take shelter immediately.....
Simply a BBC's masterpiece!!!
I'm currently working on an electrical project. This theme keeps me buzzing awake, alive and, amongst all else, so focused. I love the beats.
If you didn't notice, all of these version are played at 120bpm, so every second is 2 beats.
Right. Otherwise, the countdown music and beeps would be offbeat.
holy heck this is the complete collection I figure, thanks a lot for uploading!
One of a kind Theme. Simply amazing 🎉
I would definitely listen to this dramatic track as the world is coming to an end.
This mix is a true masterpiece - love it ❤️🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶😁
23:58 Finding me conducting and dancing on a hot summer night on the terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Lanzarote, Bose headphones cranked up full and this masterpiece in my ears.... Man, this is heaven....
23:58? this vid is not more than 10 mins
@@shikharashish7616it's a bot
This is the first time that I'm listening to the long version. It's excellent, definitely. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No matter when, every time I listen to the different versions, love them all.
I love overly dramatic TV News themes
Heading to bed listening to this masterpiece is like being in another world !!! Wowow ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🙏🏻🇬🇧🏴🥰🙏🏻❤️
There are ads on this video
I like how the beginning sounds similar to a movie's sad epic song. Thanks for the upload! :)
its what the BBC made live when the queen's coffin was being moved
When the main villain finally gets to put his plan into action after hiding in plain sight for millennia
Respect to the 6 people that died just so we can listen to this banger
I could wait for news till 10 past hour to listen to this first ❤
It’s just beautiful.
i think i have a problem, the fact that im legitimately vibing to this 😭
U got no problem.Its just a great hit I fell in love with.
U got no problem.Its just a great hit I fell in love with.
Wonderful. This theme is so... poignant, especially now in Ukraine and Middle East. First, you feel anxious and anxiety, then frustration and despair, finally a ray of hope that things will get better. Thank you BBC for all these years, you have our gratitude.
Beautifully put. Also, to me, the beat is like the pulse of someone deciding to go on living despite all the terrible news.
I am very grateful for these comments - made me cry (passionate BBC supporter for 43 years).
this music killing it
Absolutely beautiful.
Hands down one of the best news themes I've ever heard. And it's also as iconic as both NBC Nightly News and Star Awards.
It should have been entered into the charts
I get chills every time I hear it!
Amazing!!!
Likely the best piece of music written in the past century. A masterpiece indeed. David Lowe!
For those that are interested (and not yet heard it), there is a brilliant mashup made by Ben Howell (The originator of the BBC News theme mixes):-
'Dua Lipa BBC News Remix By Ben H' 👍
😎🇬🇧
Absolutely adore David Lowe official music and the remixes, but yes Ben Howell did a great job with Dua Lipa considering he RECONSTRUCTED the BBC Music entirely out of free Mac software Garageband during lockdown.
@@Richiecandyloveryes, he MADE it happen!
Never expected this, definitely a phenomenon!
Awesome, fabulous, fantastic, excellent theme. I love to listen this beautiful music any time any where.
8:45 onwards is just pure bliss
I’m listening to this for the 10th time this month!
Live from London, this is BBC News...
David Lowe's BBC News theme is excellent. Only John Williams' NBC theme, also used by Australia's Channel 7, is in the same class.
And this towers above them all. I say this as the NBC theme is magnificent.
The real national anthem.
This theme then ..
Ten people died last night in the Bronx due to a fire that killed ten people in the Bronx last night during a fire. Ten people were killed by the fire, which was too hot for their bodies.
The beginning sounds like music that would play when showing satellites in space.
Brilliant work. Great to have the bookmarks as well, so that you can see all the individual themes.
This theme is amazing! In Slovakia we also have some nice news themes, but unfortunatedly there are no "clean" version posted anywhere. I hope one day someone will get them.
This epic tune playing just before the:
“Good morning this is the BBC. 3 teenagers have been stabbed in a park in Birmingham today-“
Masterpiece! Feeling I'm know everything happening in the world when this music play
First time I've sat and read a youtube video description for 10 minutes 😂😂😂 This was amazing!
The extended theme and similar themes past and present could be played as part of an emergency broadcast system message as intermission period between news updates in the event of a major nuclear incident across the UK during war.
yeah
Wow this is so amazing
Don't know why they don't have a Grammy yet 🤔
As a Canadian who listens to CBC Radio and that twittery, silly piece of music called 'Cavalcade' that is played before every news break. To the newsreader who can't pronouce a French name if his life depended on it - THIS is a full on furious heavy cavalry charge that spears and slays and hacks and tramples all before it! Not some little 'cavalcade'. This is not some chirpy little Ottawa-approved tune. This is majesty and power.
did I really just listen to 10 minutes of news theme, and ENJOY it THOROUGHLY? Smooth mixing, particularly at 3:20
this is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
yeaahh
Extraordinary and enthusiastic intro.
I assume this is the soundtrack from BBC News: The Movie
BBC News dropping this banger getting ready to report on a mass casualty event 😂
Covid deaths hit 1 million. Drop the beat! Russia invaded Ukraine. BANG EUPHORIA!
Lol
Masterpiece😊😊
I feel like this could be played if they need to take the news off air for extened period of time or for closing a channel for the night.
They use it for synching up regional news programs ending and leading into the hourly news.
yeah
Simply materpieces!
I've nearly always tried to watch the main BBC news intro video with the music - simply a materpiece of production/editing! Often don't bother with the news itself - not a patch on it!
And most of the sounds are from the BBC orchestra, yes, in a large studio.
It's just what the BBC does best!
Would love to watch a video recording of these performances! Appreciate that quite a bit of post-editing has gone on, though.
This is the only recording I could find of the official orchestra perfomance for the theme (that isn't part of a medley compilation): czcams.com/video/llBi71jziUk/video.html
@@mashumarusero Thanks! That is so good to see the players!
6:17 Start of BBC News Countdown/Intro
David Lowe! TOP G!
Wow !!! This is amazing
Absolute banger
I love the countdown ❤
It is my favourite part of BBC News. Thank you for uploading!
This sounds really good. I might use part of it for my weather time lapses.
yea if you dont mind the largest media corporation in the world after you
"9 people died in an accident..."
One beat to rule them all ❤
Amazing!!!
As a freelancer, while working on my computer, I listen to this music every day.
Rip George Alagiah
Nice fellow....
素晴らしいmixです、キレイな音。CDほしいです。
シェアして頂きありがとうございました!

6:33 absolute banger
The creativity and the level of music was at is exceptional
It's heart beat ❤
My mind is blown!
I use full sound on earphone
Visuals could include an on screen banner for a few seconds with BREAKING NEWS: Theme Is Hypnotic.
Perfection!!!
This theme goes HARD! 🔥
