Marty Sheargold to leave Nova’s Kate, Tim and Marty drive show
Marty Sheargold is leaving Nova’s syndicated drive show Kate, Tim and Marty on 11 September.
The radio station said his replacement, who will join existing hosts Kate Ritchie and Tim Blackwell, will be announced in due course.
Sheargold has been with Nova for a decade, and alongside Blackwell and Ritchie has fronted the drive program as it clocked up 26 consecutive survey wins.
‘Kate, Tim and Marty’ have been on-air together for over five years
The real question here is which rival network will we see him on in 2020?
My money is on a Red Symons style show in afternoon or drive on ABC Melbourne.
Surely he won’t go to 774? But I agree that he will probably pop up on another station.
I think he will be replaced by Ed Kavalee on Nova which would pave the way for Kate Langbroek to reunite with Hughesy on Hit as has been mooted.
Why not ABC? It’s been done before – Richard Stubbs, Richard Fiedler, Wendy Harmer, etc…
Also no way that Ed Kavalee is a good replacement. He’s a great sidekick or anchor but they already have both those roles, and his persona is too nice which would upset the show. They need a big comedy name who can be edgy – someone like Peter Helliar, Wil Anderson, Dave O’Neil, maybe even Merrick Watts.
Could be Tom Gleeson? He recently quit The Weekly.
Has to be Kate Tim and Tommy Williams
