NFL On CBS Music - 1990s

1990s

For CBS' coverage of Super Bowl XXVI at the end of the 1991 season, CBS once again introduced a brand new theme. Composed by jingle writer Frankie Vinci, the new theme had a bombastic, epic and strikingly catchy hook, with the rest of the composition featuring a jazzy feel with some electric guitar mixed in. CBS used this theme until the end of the 1993 season (when they lost the NFC television package to Fox). However, CBS Radio Sports continued using the Vinci theme music leading up to CBS' return to the NFL in 1998.

When CBS returned to televising the NFL in 1998, they kept the 1992–1993 melody, but rerecorded the theme with updated instrumentation. The 1992 theme lasted seven seasons on television (1992–93, 1998–2002).
