That's Music to My Ears!

Straight from the Vault....

Scouring YouTube has been my latest obsession, a practice that led me to this superbly classic nugget: the NBA on NBC theme song, composed by your boy John Tesh. During the 1990's, NBA coverage on NBC resulted in a ratings spike that shattered the substantial viewership prevalent during the Bird/Magic era. A musical score like this, heard blaring from television sets on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, was enough to get you hyped for every single broadcast. In addition, hearing the voices of Marv Albert and Bob Costas was an absolute treat to NBA aficionados both young and old (that was, until Brother Albert went postal on the back of some chick's neck, dressed to the nines in feminine apparel).

How About That?

The following search is courtesy of YouTube once again: stepping to the plate, This Week in Baseball, accentuated by the opening theme Jet Set and the accompanying Gathering Crowds, which ran during the closing credits. Talk about inspiring sports programming! No sports coverage is complete without a riveting musical accompaniment of its own. Enjoy these finds at your leisure!
