Catch the theme before 8am ET on March 30, 2008 (day of ESPNews HD's launch) here: • Video
The basic headline bed that U.S. sports fans were treated to every single day on the sole outlet dedicated to highlights, scores and news. To be honest, if you knew/know ESPN, you must have known or heard of ESPNews at some point. That 17-note tune, which probably was the ringtone for the channel's diehard fans, was really fun when it lasts (so did the HD "sidebar"). This song's demise also marked the end of the all-news format for, ironically, ESPNews.
From November 2009 to 27 January 2013, when ESPNews was in operation in Asia, this song was used too. Later that feed switched to Fox Sports News before shutting down in 2017.
Where did I get this song from? John Colby's website. I'll just put it out there so that I don't have to be bombarded with this question.

John Colby (composer of NBC's NFL themes from 1992-95, as well as their Notre Dame Football games) did the original.

Great update of the 1996 theme, though the original was better.

YES! back when the channel was in their glory days but now it's just a basic-ass cable sports channel showing nothing but shows and sports docs. This channel should be cancelled for airing other programs when NEWS is still in their title!

Let me be frankly clear here: ESPN did have a point when they said we can catch such information on our mobile at a glance nowadays... that's until CBS brought its own version of ESPNews to the table on OTT platforms from 2018 (you can watch that for free, actually, without subscription). For your second sentence in the comment, someone has made that criticism bluntly here: awfulannouncing.com/espn/will-come-espnews-2018-beyond.html
