Assuming you are referring to the background graphic in < http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/i/msnbc/Components/CSS/img/hdr-bg -std.jpg> , it looks like the artist took a graphic depiction of an audio amplitude plot, added some gaussian blur, and put a colored gradient mask over it.

Hi Michael.

Thanks for the response. Sounds simple enough but have you any idea how this would be done? Thanks again. 🙂
