I think Advance Australia Fair was the first news theme followed by Majestic Fanfare and then the Ansell/Wall one, the one referred to here, then the current one began about 3/4 years ago. They wanted to bring Majetic Fanfare back during David Hill's leadership and tried it out on the overseas TV service and it looked really dated and dreadful. The Majestic Fanfare the ABC uses for Radio bulletins was rerecorded about 15 years ago and was takedn up a tone in pitch to make it sound brighter.
