Majestic Fanfare sounds so dated. I’ve never heard anything like it in the last 20 years or so. Even old fashioned Aunty BBC updated its themes. There’s not much you could do with majestic Fanfare to make it a relevant theme in this day and age. It was only ever written to be “production music”.
And interestingly, in Melbourne at least, it wasn’t used as the opening theme for the news on local radio in the 70s. 3LO used a contemporary theme. No one complained. I was only when the Sydney Broadcasting Corp decided to make all stations play Majestic Fanfare that it returned.
And as others have said, how about something contemporary composed by an Australian? ABC is trying to shake off its ancient audience only appeal. Dumping Majestic Fanfare would be a good start.
