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.

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.
