The font is called Handel Gothic but not sure whether it's a free one or not.

Wasn't that just the font used for the clock, and not the font of the logo itself?

The main logo it's self appears to be a rounded font.

Yes, the logo was custom drawn and never had a font.

Is there an alternate or similar typeface that's similar to the custom font?

Perhaps if you posted an image of this logo, you may get more responses...

To be fair, that's probably the closest font to the logo so far. The K is almost identical in style, but the rest is still very different.

If this helps, here's a rare, print version of the actual logo.

It seems really odd how that logo was designed. The b was designed quite rounded potentially to created the b inside b logo, the g followed this rounded design, and the rest were then quite angled.
