London 2012 Olypipcs (the first with Gibraltarian participation). New idents are planned for Autumn 2012 to coincide with GBCs new programme schedule which will see an increase in local programming. GBC branding theme and scores GBCs branding theme has been changed over the years. During the 70s and 80s GBC used a powerful orchestral type theme which was very much in line with TV station branding of the time. Over the years and in keeping with changing styles, GBC has opted for a number of smoother sounding themes. At present, GBC uses a smooth, inspirational-type track as its brand theme.

They further added that the GBC review is "no major priority". 2010: Allan King and "The Way Forward" On 2 February 2010, the Government of Gibraltar published a paper detailing the future of GBC. Entitled The Way Forward, the paper was based on the various recommendations made by media personality and consultant, Allan King (formerly of the UK's Sky TV), in a report commissioned by the government. King's report was dated November 2008 and entitled "Preparing GBC for the next 50 years". Following the release of the paper, the government opened a period of public
