ABC News (NSW) - First use of 1982 version of Majestic Fanfare

On the 50th anniversary of the ABC, they changed the news theme to this version of the Majestic Fanfare. A clip from this 1982 ABC Sydney Christmas Tape:
• ABC TV Australia 1981 ...

Clive Hale - a great abc presenter, sadly passed away.

[@Warpedsmac]

Compare the way the late Mr Hale speaks to today's so-called professional TV presenters....I guess really there is NO comparison. Like you I miss him and this style of TV presenter.

I love how they put in the electronic sounds to make it sound futuristic and cool.

[@rah62]

Oh it sounds silly, like a cheap Star Wars ripoff.

[@angusphotographyperth]

@@rah62 lmao

If you think the synth in this is weird... get a hold of the 1982 version of "Lost Patrol" that Four Corners used. (We got the Rick Turk composition a year later)

Now I know what it is called. Doctor who version.

Clive Hale later regenerated into Richard Morecroft

The 1950s graphics were pretty cool, too.

The new version made for an ABC News channel promo was pretty cool too. :-)

[@vampire_insectorum]

Brilliant! Where can I find it?

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

@@BB-xx3dv I would've welcomed it if it became the regular news theme too, but it wasn't to be. 🤔

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

@@BB-xx3dv I thought so, yes. 😉

[@Hb1290Logos]

I'd like to see the 1982 version redone with a digeridoo in place of the synth

[@davidthegreen]

Ha it's like an 80s parody of itself

[@joshuagalka3526]

Nice!

[@BBC600]

Who has undone her straight laces? I didn't catch that part.

[@nikobatallones]

"Auntie has undone her straight laces" -- Auntie referring to the ABC.

[@BBC600]

@@nikobatallones Thanks

[@MJE112358132134]

I think the comment was referring to the new version of the theme going against tradition sufficiently as to introduce electronic effects.

Don’t like it short!
