I know John WIlliams composed the music for NBC... however I am not sure if he did the Meet The Press theme (which i think is wicked cool!) If he did not do it... who did??? :?: If he did do it... where is a recording of it???

Yes Williams composed meet the press.

Apart the Conset arrangement of the NBC news theme,the original music Williams composed and conducted in 1985 consisted of 4 separate short 2 minute or so segments:

1-The Mission Theme(NBC news main theme)

2-Scherzo for Today.

3-Fugue for the Changing Times(Became Meet the Press)

4-And another...the title eludes me right now.

He also did 9 bumpers and short 30 sec segment variations of the main theme.

The rest of all NBC news music is based onilliams material but re-arranged by other composers.

Here are the correct titles. Sorry, KM. :|

?"The Mission" for the NBC Nightly News.

?"Fugue For Changing Times" for a Connie Chung news magazine.

?"Scherzo For Today" for The Today Show.

?"The Pulse of Events" for special reports and later for Meet the Press.

I got my info here.
