Your Name Here Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 If they're going to do this, they should do it right. ABC used the same theme for all of its sports programming (except the Calgary Olympics, which still used "Bugler's Dream") in the late 80's. But they used a different arrangement for every sport. In FOX's case, they could use a pipe organ version for baseball and an electric guitar version for NASCAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adtisant1 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 To protest the change! Go to this sight and post this: http://msn.foxsports.com/feedbackPlease bring back the best Baseball Theme music. I like the NFL on FOX and I love the MLB on FOX. They both have great theme music. They should each have their own theme music and the MLB music gave dignity to your great broadcast! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubK414 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 NBA on FS(insert region here) was still there tonight. At least on my end It was very present on the Bucks telecast tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah, thankfully. I was hopping around on NBA League Pass last night and it seemed like all of the FSN stations have retained the NBA on FSN theme. The NFL on Fox theme wouldn't have matched up very well with NBA IMO.

BBTV Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Believe it or not, I just heard this for the first time tonight - WTF? It's not like either one is great, but the football one just means... well, football. There's nothing wrong with a unifying theme, but not after 15 or so years of using the same theme for one sport exclusively. It's no Roundball Rock, but it makes me think about football the same way RR makes me think basketball.

BBTV Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Love him or hate him (or don't care either way), this is probably the greatest opening theme song to any network sports broadcast ever.

I agree so much. I remember NBA Jam using it as the menu music too, especially the bass line. If we're on the topic of "Roundball" lol, this one is at the same level too: .As a Bucks fan from Milwaukee it pains me, but this is as synonymous with basketball as it gets!

The_Admiral Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I don't like that remix. They meant well, but all that extraneous drumming gets in the way. Just stick to what worked. Of course, I grew up with the Bulls, so I don't like any progress or deviations. Scottie Pippen today could be a 12th man on this team. He's broke now. He might have to! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990hornet Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 2 year later, what do we think? I miss the MLB on Fox theme. Luckily Sun Sports and local FSN affiliates still use the specialized themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yeah, that move never struck me as a very good one. The music written for football telecasts was written to fit a--gasp--football telecast. Why not reduce to absurdity and use the NFL music to open The O'Reilly Factor? It would really solidify the Fox brand! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 2 year later, what do we think? I miss the MLB on Fox theme. Luckily Sun Sports and local FSN affiliates still use the specialized themes.It fits football perfectly. It doesn't fit baseball, and good God, it doesn't fit soccer. Just because you have an iconic theme doesn't mean you plaster it all over your other properties. You didn't see NBC taking the Tesh NBA theme and using it for Wimbledon and the Breeder's Cup after a few years.We don't have an FSN affiliate here in Chicago, so the last chance I had to hear the MLB on Fox theme was when MLB Network ran the Australian Baseball League All-Star Game this past winter. Fox Sports Australia still uses the proper theme. Hearing it put me in a happy place.
