Radio titan Ray Hadley has made a major announcement about his future at Sydney’s leading talkback station 2GB, confirming he is hanging up his microphone.
Hadley has ruled the airwaves in the fiercely competitive mornings timeslot for the Sydney-based station since his debut in April 2002 after more than two decades at rival outlet 2UE, where he had started his radio career as a casual traffic reporter.
The tireless broadcaster, who celebrated his 70th birthday just six weeks ago, is also know to sports fans across the country for his unbeaten reign calling the rugby league State of Origin matches and the NRL Grand Final.
Hadley’s record-breaking career has seen him recognised with 33 Australian Commercial Radio Awards for his work across news and current affairs and sport – more than any other broadcaster – and inducted into the ACRA Hall of Fame in 2017.
He was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2002 for his services to rugby league and in recognition of his charity work, and added to the Sydney Cricket Ground’s Media Hall of Honour in 2021.
Daily Mail Australia has been told that Nine Radio executives are aware of Hadley’s upcoming announcement, which expected to send shockwaves through the industry.
