In 2021, CBS This Morning was rebranded as CBS Mornings with the goal of strengthening its connection to the highly successful CBS News Sunday Morning. This shift was reflected in the adoption of the iconic sunshine logo, which has been associated with Sunday Morning since its debut. Musically, CBS Mornings incorporated a shortened version of Gottfried Reiche’s “Abblasen” into its upbeat theme, produced by Antfood. The trumpet solo is performed by Sam Oatts.
Antfood – CBS Mornings open
Each hour of CBS Mornings opens with the “Eye Opener,” a fast-paced news montage. Initially, this segment featured new music, but for the 7 a.m. Eye Opener, the show reverted to the theme used during the CBS This Morning era. The Saturday edition, however, continues to use the new theme.

The Saturday edition of the show has a slightly more relaxed theme. As you can hear clearly in this cut, the music features the “This is CBS”-mnemonic prominently. Developed by Antfood in 2020, this is a melodic interpretation of the classic announcer voice-over intro.

Hey! This is amazing thank you! But I have one request. Is there any chance you can upload a new Eye Opener theme? one that is now used only By SatMo?
The theme is now used on CBS Mornings Plus. Now CBS Saturday Morning uses a shorter theme of this.
I second Ilia’s comment. I’d love to hear the Antfood Eye Opener theme used on CBS Saturday Morning. Also, the old local weather music from CBS This Morning. You have a great website! Thanks for all your hard work!

cbs mornings has a new era for the theme for eyeopener called face the nation in the coming months
Agree with all of the above! The SatMo Eye Opener would be a great add if possible!
I completely respect the decision to include Sam Oatts in the trumpet interpretation, but I feel Wynton Marsalis could’ve contributed to the opening cue. However, Antfood handled the music in good terms for CBS.
Amazing! Thanks
This is truly CBS Mornings’ first theme in the Paramount era.
Interesting how the Eye Opener At 8 features both the CBS Mornings local weather music bed, and the CBS Morning News intro and extro music. I’d love to hear the original themes without the 5-note Eye Opener motif. Is that possible?
Thanks for a great website.
what is name of beautiful theme for the Almanac series? love it & trumpet soloist is fabulous!
Seconding Mark’s comment–the local weather music bed was also used in the first few months in the post-Eye Opener “also coming up in today’s show” headlines. It would be great to have that theme without the 5 notes!
cbs mornings moves to its new eyeopener at 7 and 8 am for the new theme of face the nation
