Talk:In the News

"In The News" theme song
In The News had a great synthesized theme song. A sample is available here. Who is the composer/musician? Is there a voiceover-free copy of it available anywhere? --RevWaldo 20:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I would buy and watch In The News compilation DVDs (but I must admit that if I had to listen to the In The News theme song a couple hundred times in one sitting I might go manic).

I love the theme. A friend of mine recognizes the style as Raymond Scott, who was CBS's musical director and was into synthesizers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.83.149.207 (talk) 20:47, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Glenn's "In The News" Tenure
The article mentions that Christopher Glenn narrated the pieces until 1978, and then Gary Shepard took over until the end of its run. Christopher Glenn is the one name I remember from In the News, and while Gary Shepard might have done some of them, Glenn seems to have continued narrating them past 1978. Two from the 1980s are on YouTube.com and both are narrated by Glenn. --Ted.

original title?
I remember watching the first segments on Saturday mornings in 1971. In my memory, it was first entitled "In the Know" for a short time before changing to "In the News." If my memory's accurate, the article should reflect this name change. JimmyTheSaint 07:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I remember "In The News", but I also remember in the Fall Preview issue of TV Guide in 1971 or 1972, or slightly later, that it mentioned that "In The Know" would be added as well by CBS to its station breaks. As to content, I remember a feature showing the building of the Berlin Wall, so I wonder what early 70s event triggered the telling of that story. GBC 14:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Doug Poling?
Didn't Doug Poling narrate a few of the segments? I seem to recall that. --Dj (talk) 00:55, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
