Top of the charts is of course, Match Of The Day. Any way the theme tune, known by all, a brilliant tune and the sound of Saturday afternoons for many generations. YES this program gave us the vidiprinter. Running from 1958 to 2007, the BBC showed Grandstand on Saturday afternoons covering all of the days sport finishing off with the classified football results in it’s “Final Score’ part of the program which gave us, on screen, the English and Scottish football results as they came in on the iconic vidiprinter.
This theme tune it just brilliant, it sets the atmosphere and anticipation before the game has even started!
FORMULA 1 SKY SPORTS THEME SONG TV
It is played before all TV broadcasts of the tournament around the world. The song is simply titled “Champions League” with music taken from the G F Handel piece, Zadok the Priest, and given a modern arrangement by English composer Tony Britten in 1992. Tuesday and Wednesday night TV’s blasting this out, men and women around the world singing along, screaming “THE CHAMPIONS’ at the end of it, thank god its not followed by Adrian Chiles any more. This is one that we just could not miss out, the very iconic Champions League theme tune.
FORMULA 1 SKY SPORTS THEME SONG PLUS
Strawberries and cream, pimms, BBQ’s and more plus watching from the comfort of our sofas there is the added bonus of seeing BBC’s iconic opening theme, which despite showing its age never loses its appeal. Again the BBC have chosen a cracking theme song for their sports coverage.
Number 4, I believe there are 3 better than this. I wanted to see how the iconic Wimbledon theme would measure up against some the rest of the best. Novak Djokovic has just won his third Wimbledon title, that wasn’t important for me, Murray did well, nope still not good. The reason why I thought of doing this count down, the Wimbledon theme tune. The BBC theme tune is a section of Fleetwood Mac’s song, The Chain and it has become famously linked to F1. Since 2012 the BBC have shared the F1 rights with Sky Sports. The BBC won it back in 2008 and the iconic theme tune returned. The BBC had this theme tune up until ITV won the UK rights from the 1997 season. Number 5 is the Formula 1 BBC theme tune.
