I have the ABC radio news tune as my default ringtone. Easy to distinguish as not many would have it as theirs. Not even a_e would I'm guessing.

I used to use the ABC news theme as a monophonic ringtone on my Nokia 6310i ... but I got a new phone and the MP3 version didn't sound good.

Now I use the theme to Beyond 2000.

1943 - The Majestic Fanfare by Charles Williams, the ABC radio news theme.

Written in 1935, this work was recorded in 1943 by the Queens Hall Light Orchestra conducted by the composer, Englishman Charles Williams, who also wrote music for Alfred Hitchcock, the BBC and other British television organisations. An 18-second version was adopted as the theme music for the ABC News and first used on 1 January, 1952. Previously, it was deployed for Parliamentary broadcasts. The abbreviated Fanfare replaced a shortened version of ‘Advance Australia Fair’, penned by the Scotsman Peter Dodds McCormack in 1879. Shortening what was already regarded as a significant national song was regarded as somewhat sacrilegious, while shortening the apolitical ‘Majestic Fanfare’ was deemed less contentious.
