What it says on the tin, produced by AntFood and rearranged from the Trivers/Myers 1987 soundtrack, the CBS Evening News theme is actually split into small components recorded by a royalty free orchestra in Europe, enabling different themes to be made and cut together from a list of parts. Heard here are 7 of them cut around the vamp.

This sampling methodology is how CBS managed to tighten/add pace to their headline sequences at the start of the broadcast.

Some things to note: this isn't a 'remix' - it's a new performance and arrangement. Trivers/Myers did guide AntFood on it, which is why the short melody is there in the final composition - the 1991 music by Patterson, Walz and Fox was also co-written by Trivers/Myers and one of their additions was the melodic callback at the end which survives.
