{{Short description|E.S. Posthumus song, theme tune to NFL on CBS}}
{{more citations needed|date=April 2019}}
"'''Posthumus Zone'''" and "'''Granicus'''" are songs composed by the now-disbanded [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] [[electronic music]] group [[E.S. Posthumus]] for the [[TV program]]s ''[[NFL on CBS]]'' and ''[[The NFL Today]]'' on [[CBS Sports]]. The songs are played at the start and end of the programs, before and after commercial breaks, and during stoppages of play of games shown on the ''NFL on CBS'', and on commercial spots that announce the programming schedule, as a [[jingle]] for viewers to remember. The theme was first used for the ''NFL on CBS'' in 2003.

The songs were also used to introduce, to conclude, and to segue to commercials on [[NFL on Westwood One Sports|Westwood One's NFL game coverage]] and halftime programming. It has since been replaced with a new score commissioned by Westwood One since 2013.

"Posthumus Zone", which is just under a minute long, was released by E.S. Posthumus in January 2008 as a single on the [[iTunes Store]] and on [[Amazon MP3]]. In [[2005 in music|2005]], E.S. Posthumus also released the single "Rise to Glory," a remix of "Posthumus Zone" in association with [[DJ Quik]] with vocals from [[Bizarre (rapper)|Bizarre]].

Since 2016, the theme is used on ''[[The Price Is Right (U.S. game show)|The Price Is Right]]'' as the main theme in years CBS has the Super Bowl for the game show's Super Bowl-themed episode.  This was used in daytime versions in [[Super Bowl 50|L]] and [[Super Bowl LIII|LIII]], and primetime versions in [[Super Bowl LVIII|LVIII]].  (CBS had [[Super Bowl LV]], but there was no themed episode because the signature prize, a trip to the game itself, could not be offered that season.)
