In the early 1970s, KPTV channel 12 in Portland Oregon used the beginning of this recording as theme music for a short afternoon newscast called "Coffee Break News".
I don't think so. Mancini composed this specifically for the "Peter Gunn" episode "Let's Kill Timothy" (Season 1, Episode 17; original air date 1 19 59). It was included in his LP album "More Music from Peter Gunn" (also in the 60's compilation album "The Best of Henry Mancini"). Doubt they would have used it in anything else. (BTW, the "Timothy" of the song and episode title is a trained seal who assists in a jewel heist!).

The seal on Peter Gunn. I miss Craig Stevens.
Wasn't this theme used as an opening for another TV show? Similar to opening music for Hogan's Heroes.

Yes it was used. "Captain Sea-Tac" on KCPQ 13 Tacoma in the early 80s. Check the link: m.ua-cam.com/video/gnQEVCq7ReQ/v-deo.html
Timothy was a seal on Peter Gunn.
