Originally, theme tunes were important in part because all programs were broadcast live (with no possibility of home recording) and audiences needed some advance warning that the show was actually starting. You could leave your TV on in the next room while you ate dinner or whatever, and as soon as the tune came on there'd be just enough time to get ready for the show. The modern world has increasingly turned to streaming services, which have eliminated that particular need.

The piece of music which plays over the opening and/or closing credits of a TV show, and is intended to become intimately identified with the series.
Theme tunes began in the earliest days of radio, where there were no specific channels to switch to and listeners would often have to tune their crystal sets with some precision in order to pick up the correct station, which may have been located hundreds of miles away. A theme tune allowed them to select the correct station. Shortwave radio stations still use theme tunes, called ''interval signals'', at the beginning of their transmissions. Well-known interval signals include the Voice of America's ''Yankee Doodle'' and the BBC World Service's ''Lilliburlero''.
