In 1994, Dateline NBC commissioned composer Michael Karp to create a new theme for the program. The result was one of the most iconic themes in the history of news magazines. It debuted around the time Dateline moved to a new studio. Initially, the show was broadcast from the set of NBC Nightly News. However, when Today relocated to its current street-side studio, Dateline took over their former studio on the third floor of Rockefeller Center. For much of the period this theme was used, Stone Phillips and Jane Pauley co-anchored the program. After Pauley left the program in 2003, Ann Curry joined as a co-host in 2005.
