But Mike Rowe does a really nice job. @DC you're right, the big announce sound (save for Cronkite's CBS Evening News intro) seems to be ending. And even Cronkite's is fairly subdued...and awesome. @Philip, one loses the reason to live when not announcing for Natasha. @Ron, you're welcome Best to you all, - Peter @ Liz I know, I thought if they would change, it might be a female.

@DC you’re right, the big announce sound (save for Cronkite’s CBS Evening News intro) seems to be ending. And even Cronkite’s is fairly subdued…and awesome.

@Philip, one loses the reason to live when not announcing for Natasha.

@Ron, you’re welcome

Best to you all,

And that is, that the networks have to update their sound to something younger in all promos, news, etc. The change in anchors just plays into that long term strategy. Congrats Rowe! BANK!

Pedestrian and the pay off "with Diane Sawyer" was as if he expected it to be Natasha Kaplinsky presenting so he couldn't hide his disappointment when he realised the awful truth.
