==Musical signature themes==
The original 1967 signature was "Crossbeat", a 30-second electronic music piece sourced from the [[BBC]], composed and realised by [[David Cain (composer)|David Cain]] of the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]]. This was replaced by new themes for both ''AM'' and ''PM'', composed by Tony Ansell in the 1980s, both based on a similar theme and performed in a similar manner on a synthesiser using a brass-type patch. The similarity between the themes represented a significant link between the sister programmes.{{cn|date=September 2022}}
This music was used from the 1980s until January 2017.<ref>{{youtube|h9QCsQAd_c4|ABC Radio "PM": Opening and Closing Themes}}</ref>
