It’s just a short portion of a soulful groove they sometimes play between segments of the Chicago Tonight show. It starts at **9:29** and lasts for about 30 seconds. Unfortunately it cuts off just when the horns come in. I’d really love to hear the whole thing. > **[Chicago Tonight | September 28, 2016 - Full Show | Season 2016 | WTTW](https://video.wttw.com/video/chicago-tonight-september-28-2016-full-show/)** > > Watch the Sept. 28, 2016 full episode of "Chicago Tonight." ---

My guess is that the music was made just for that show by some of the local talent. ---

The dude Paris Schutz (sp?) on that show is a piano player, and had a hand in writing the theme music. It wouldn’t surprise me if he knew about the music used on the show. I wonder if you could contact him via WTTW? ---

I tried Shazam and SoundHound, but neither of them recognized it. ---

Yeah, I think Bobot got it right. Must be written specifically for the show and unobtainable. Guess I’ll just have to settle for 30 second soundbites. I would be surprised if it was written by Paris Shutz though. I know he’s the “composer” of that godawful opening theme with a crappy trumpet repeatedly playing 4 notes up and down the scale. ---
