Triple J news also used the majestic fanfare but it was a remixed and distorted version.

The modern ABC has better command of "Australian English", in the meantime the BBC has 'dumbed-down' , as has the ABC, but to a much lesser extent.

The late Clive Hale was the main newsreader in Adelaide before moving to Sydney, he famously refused to pronounce Roy & HG's show Club Buggery correctly every time he had to promo it, calling it Club Boou-gerrey.

And the music is properly known as 'Majestic Fanfare', and TV removed a middle stanza wheras radio kept it

They still use it on ABC radio.

ABC, along with TV-1 in New Zealand, had to use the "BBC English". This was because the "BBC" used to be seen as being the network with the best standard of English. Today, ABC and TV-1 have better standards of English than the BBC.
