History of ABC Australia News Intros since 1956

[@killerinfo]

"It is feared the Prime Minister has drowned." *ABC TRIUMPH NEWS INTRO MUSIC PLAYS*

[@2003CoolCRV]

Oh my the old intro, we're so back.

[@lawsonhellu4718]

The old intro... A LEGEND IS BACK.

[@otanakugaming3357]

Another interesting change (and it was done decent, though a bit rush at the end), while the 2017-2024 intro is also legendary

[@JustCallMeEm.]

I feel like 2017-24 has a more serious and urgent tone, like I feel like the new/old theme feels more suitable for a longer, less cliffnotes program like 7:30 or foreign correspondent

[@emerdaletan]

* Love the morning vibe on News Breakfast's new titles. * I love the revamped old theme. It's sounds newsier than the previous one. The ABC morse code at the beginning is a cherry on top. * Loving the graphics! The time stamp on the titles actually syncs in to the actual time of different Australian time zones (See 15:23-15:26).

[@justmeajah]

As much as I love the 2010 intro, I must say the 2024 one is AMAZING. Wow. I feel a bit like Newshub-ish there as well

[@tian901]

The old intro is BACKKK WE WON GANG🗣 including the 1985 theme W ABC frrr

[@cfsk-tv]

Bringing some memories along with ABC 👀

[@marcogeurts9881]

And the visuals look lime the VRT Nieuws ​@@cfsk-tv

[@RhysAU]

Nice compilation there. You even included some stuff from the former International Broadcast of the ABC, the Australia network.

[@kanaljeneriklerivereklamku8694]

It Is Still On The Air As Of Today As ABC Australia, An International Channel From ABC. ABC Australia Is Still Carrying To Pacific Islands And Rest Of Asia On Cable And Satellite Services. It Is Formerly Part Of Gang Of Five Which Include Other Broadcasters Like CNN Int., ESPN Asia, TVBS Asia And HBO Asia.

[@rezaalan3991]

Nice. It's great you using one of your legendary intro. Bit surprising me you found some parodies of this news. All of their music is legendary, even the current intro still fit with the classic music.

[@AkiraMidori]

I love how the music in the current intro is literally a modernized version of the 1986 theme, even one of the composers of the 1986 theme (Peter Wall) loves this newer rendition of the theme, according to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqCoeZloZrCafM0

[@stillnotatim]

ABC is even in Morse code at the beginning! Real classy.

[@Bennytek]

I'll never forget you, 2017 - 2024 intros 🫡 My favourite for sure

[@Vinnytv7679]

Oh, you bring back your green ident. I like the first theme song from ABC Australia News (1956-1981), and they also used the Channel 4 News theme at same time. The 2010 also like TV Cultura's Jornal da Cultura.

[@tci897]

The legend old theme is back!

[@tci897]

7:11 Soeharto

[@MF88_]

The 1985 abc news intro is one of the only very old news theme I actually like but I still prefer the 2017 soundtrack

[@JustCallMeEm.]

I feel like 2017-24 has a more serious and urgent tone, like I feel like the newest/old theme feels more suitable for a longer, less cliffnotes program like 7:30 or foreign correspondent

[@dawidtan8]

The legend is back! They returned the 1985 theme 😍🥰

[@aryawirasaksana]

4:51 this theme is similar to Channel 4 News (UK)

[@Vinnytv7679]

It's the same, used at the same time as your original owner.

[@prazzo1232]

That old intro hit me right back to 1991 when I started watching channel 2

[@nicholastyler2714]

I’m also thinking about all the people that dedicate themselves to bringing us the headlines. It is so appreciated

[@TellyMan200]

That old intro is amazing and the news breakfast intro is so cool. reminds of the bbc one in the 90s

[@PAT2012-cg7rc]

Bluey in ABC news🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

[@Branchando2023]

God bless the commonwealth and Bluey as it’s goody

[@zeke2115]

The new breakfast intro is just gorgeous!

[@nicholastyler2714]

those 2005 ones with the double octave bass and the top C from the trumpet was boss (before they changed the perfect theme!)

[@ThompsonSteamtrain]

I think the original theme is still been used on ABC radio

[@JackMcSomeone]

It is. A remixed version is also used for the news on Triple J

[@hyperfeen]

ohh that's where I know it from, I knew it sounded familiar, but I'm not that old :)

[@ShizukuOsakaTV]

We love ABC Australia and yes, i am still a fan despite my eyes leaning to SBS

[@matiascortina7106]

1:25 blooper time 😂

[@Xanthe_Cat]

The top three are all old school - Majestic Fanfare by Charles Williams (the 1956 theme), The National (the short-lived 1985 theme), and ABC News Theme by Peter Wall and Tony Ansell (1986-2005, 2024-). Good to see one of the classics back in a new remix (the Morse code spelling out ABC is a nice retro touch).

[@uktaofficial]

ABC News is back withe the old theme boys!

[@nicholastyler2714]

Ohhh Leigh Sales looks so CUTE!!!

[@nicholetheotter1957]

15:04 That fast beeping sound is “ABC” in Morse Code!

[@mecharoo]

7:59 Leigh Sales is still with the ABC today!

[@CSRLaunchpad]

I love my ABC and all the amazing themes. The 100 year anniversary is going to be amazing.

[@Antphoneigh]

I quite like 2005-2010 and of course 2024! 2010-2017 sounds like the ABC night club

[@kanaljeneriklerivereklamku8694]

4:51 - This Theme Was Also Used On HBB TV In Türkiye For Haberler News Intro Until 1998-ish When They Using A New Intro Until HBB TV Ceased Its Transmission On 16th Of July 2000, Due To Poor Ratings And Viewership. 8:17 - The 2005-2010 Intro Is Also Used On Show TV (Türkiye) For The Evening News With Ali Kırca Promo In January 2008 (0:30) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZLYhH6eqq2rjas

[@Lappali]

the 4:51 one also sounds similar to UK's Channel 4 news' intro

[@jeff9734]

It's great that the old theme is back, but that graphic update is terrible.

[@uktaofficial]

16:16 NRK is in Australia 😱😱😱😱

[@DLMTheRecordingGuy]

Thanks for using my video with credit. The new theme is good but I'm not a fan of the graphics, it feels unfinished and not neat like the last one, hope they will improve it in upcoming months.

[@jstone247]

I'm old enough to remember them all.

[@matiascortina7106]

2:15 heat wave 🥵😅

[@samuelese22]

What a day to launch the new branding! SYDNEY METRO DAY!

[@MarkPentler]

I like 2005-2010 and I hate how much grief it gets.

[@VideosdeHeOl]

Me gusta que honren su historia. Incluso lo hicieron en los 90 años de ABC, pero me parece que rompieron una gran historia de modernización musical. Tanto la versión 2005 como la 2010 marcaron sus épocas muy bien, no se si con la crisis en la televisión australiana retroceder 40 años sirva de algo. Gráficamente no se ve mal, pero creo que el símbolo "play" es muy forzado, la animación del logo de ABC es muy rudimentaria y sólo "News Breakfast" presenta una mejora significativa

[@cfsk-tv]

@@VideosdeHeOl Sí, a mí también me pareció que los nuevos gráficos de ABC son un poco raros, pero de alguna manera empezó a gustarme. La melodía es la guinda del pastel, sabrosa y preciosa.

[@Seung_Hee-kyung]

It looks like a mix of VRT, and Three News NZ...

[@BrendNeEkran]

There's influences of all sorts of European networks on the new graphics for the main news. I sense Yle Uutiset in the headlines and NRK Nyheter in the logo and background animation. But then again, it's stuff that only aficionados would notice

[@justmeajah]

​@@BrendNeEkran yes!

[@haxingorPOL]

Got here early. but still, 1 minute and no views. KZbin is drunk!

[@NotteShock]

The new intro looks simillar to Yle Uutiset with these video slides

[@AdiRudi]

What were ABC thinking at 2:55?

[@ramiropistoia]

I don't know. At the time Telediario TVE did something similar

[@r-labs9357]

They should bring back the old intro once

[@normandiebryant6989]

I still prefer the early versions of Charles Williams’ 'Majestic Fanfare’, still used for the AM radio news.

Hello, and wow the reactivity! There might be a few more intros in there (including a rare "grid" intro): kzbin.info/www/bejne/j56ypZqti7ZppZo

[@cfsk-tv]

@@NekoNekoQuatorze Wow, impressive find! Sadly, I didn't find it earlier, but I hope you still liked it ☺️

[@doedoe9307]

what the hell was 9:12? sounds like the egyptian news intro. also love the synth in the 82 - 85 intros!

[@KanzakiYuya]

1:25 Oops lol 9:00 low-cost edition

[@KanzakiYuya]

Also the 2010 one is my most favorite one For News Breakfast, I would choose the current one
