Theme Music
TV Patrol originally used Vangelis's Pulstar as its very first theme music, using it from March 2, 1987 to a certain date in 1992.
In 1992, when TV Patrol underwent revamps, Pulstar was replaced by Ryan Cayabyab's ABS-CBN News Theme. Such theme served as the theme of TV Patrol and the ABS-CBN News and Public Affairs division until March 29, 1996. The theme is currently used as a theme music for ANC's The World Tonight with slight and more modern re-composition.
On April 1, 1996, when Noli de Castro began anchoring as a solo, the newscast adopted Gari Communications' Allegro from KPIX-TV, a CBS-owned TV station in San Francisco, California. The theme underwent re-compositions in 2001, which was also used by TV Patrol Sabado/Linggo from 2004–06, 2004, and 2006, which was rearranged and composed by Jimmy Antiporda.
The current theme music was introduced on June 30, 2010, which incorporates the elements of Pulstar, TV Patrol's 2001-04 theme, TV Patrol World's 2004-06 theme music, and TV Patrol World's 2006-10 theme music.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or music:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“If music in general is an imitation of history, opera in particular is an imitation of human willfulness; it is rooted in the fact that we not only have feelings but insist upon having them at whatever cost to ourselves.... The quality common to all the great operatic roles, e.g., Don Giovanni, Norma, Lucia, Tristan, Isolde, Brünnhilde, is that each of them is a passionate and willful state of being. In real life they would all be bores, even Don Giovanni.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
