6PR’s longtime breakfast co-host, Basil Zempilas, will not renew his contract with the Nine Radio station in 2021, choosing instead to remain loyal to his commitments with Seven.

Zempilas is a regular sports commentator for the rival broadcaster. His work with 6PR became an issue when Nine acquired the Macquarie Media radio assets in 2019.
