I loved it when CBS Sports Spectacular used ELO’s “Fire On High”, then they used ELP’s “Fanfare For The Common Man”.
Yep, where I grew up it was Sunday Nights. Wrapup the weekend sports. Tennis had some good themes too. ABC played this for tennis many times as a theme. It was during disco but it worked for me. And the CBS had that classic voice for intros...I think his name was John Robertson......he would go........”Live from the Boca Rotund tennis complex.....CBS sports presents the Lipton Tennis Finals”...and this song would play in the background:

CBS used to have good bumper music during NFL games. Like when a time out was called or end of the quarter and the music would play........they played this one many times as they ended the quarter announced the score and said don’t go away....we’ll be right back...circa 70s:
