Ray Hadley Announces Departure from 2GB Radio After 43 Years

The influential broadcaster will leave his morning show on December 13, marking the end of a significant era in Australian radio.

Ray Hadley, known for his powerful influence on politics and media, is stepping down from his morning show after 160 consecutive ratings wins.
Hadley's decision to leave comes despite a recent contract extension that would have kept him on air until 2026.
The announcement coincides with Nine Entertainment's internal cultural review, though Hadley has stated his departure is unrelated.
Nine Entertainment faces challenges in replacing Hadley, as he has been a cornerstone of their radio lineup and a significant revenue driver.
Hadley plans to remain active in media, hinting at a return in 2025, but not in a full-time radio capacity.
