The ending theme of "News Network" was adapted from "Together Again" played by British composer Alastair Gavin. The original version is a saxophone song.

This song is a special song for TV news programs created by Alastair Gavin in the 1990s. It comes from the 1995 album "TV Cues2: Chappell Music Production: CHAP197".

This song has two versions: piano version and saxophone version. I think the saxophone version was only used in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games gold medal list and is the complete version. The piano version is the simplified version currently used by Xinwen Network. This song started playing on a certain day in the second half of 1998 at 7:30 every night. It has been 19 years now.
