This theme is composed by Frank Gari, who has composed news themes and image campaigns for TV stations in almost every single local market. It was used near the beginning of the Gibson-Lunden era, a very successful period for the show. Technically, however, GMA was not a news program at the time. While its competitors were produced by the news divisions of their networks, GMA was produced by the entertainment division. The news updates, however, did come from the news division. In the mid 90’s the program was fully transferred to News.

Network News Music is a website by Victor Vlam, who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of news music. 1,876 hours, 2 minutes and 52 seconds. News music is rarely heard without voice-overs or fade outs to commercial, yet it leaves an impact on many people. Founded in 2002, this site is a museum for TV news themes past and present.
I didn’t know Frank Gari or Danny Pelfrey could compose something for a national morning news program… I thought he only did news themes to local television stations around the USA.
