Interesting - SA had replaced the classic theme with some generic music months or even a year or two ago.

But they also launched the new theme on Monday to bring them back into line with other states.

Jim Graham had quite a stumble during the 3PM bulletin across RN and local radio in Victoria. Tried it three times then came out with ā€œbetter work on it for the next hourā€. Most unusual for his, thought he was having a turn!

Thanks @glen2006. Iā€™ve always found it interesting that ABC North Coast based in Lismore isnā€™t involved, yet this is a legacy from ABC Gold Coast when it was Coast FM and played adult alternative music that overlapped with Bluesfest.

What is the program schedule for Monday on local radio @glen2006?

1103

In Melbourne, thereā€™s local breakfast & a shortened mornings program before national programming takes over from 10am - 7pm.

Thatā€™s the digital schedule - 774 AM will have AFL coverage during the afternoon (likewise, Sydney & Brisbane would probably have NRL commitments as well)

Appears the ABC Queensland morning show from 0830 is being presented from Cairns by their breakfast presenter.

Where is the morning show from 0830 coming from in other states?

Loretta Ryan was on this morning for bfast, unsure why she ended at 0745.

Breakfast in Tasmania is statewide from Hobart with Ryk Goddard so no Northern breakfast.
It seems he is going until 10.

According to Brisbaneā€™s EPG, itā€™s been national programming today since 10am.

10am - 1pm Mornings with Lisa Pellegrino (Melbourne)
1pm - 4pm Afternoons with Craig Quartermaine (Perth)
4pm - 7pm Drive with Sarah McDonald (Sydney)

I imagine Evenings will also be a National program, but there is no presenter listed.

Didnā€™t hear this one live, but Iā€™ve been informed that ABC Local Radio played the original 1940s version of their ā€œMajestic Fanfareā€ news theme leading into this morningā€™s 7.45am news bulletin.
