‘A favourite of 2GB listeners’: Ray Hadley’s replacement announced
Ray Hadley has announced who will be stepping into his Mornings slot on 2GB, as he steps down after a 43 year broadcasting career.
Mark Levy will take over full time after being a regular fill-in for Hadley and Ben Fordham across 2GB over an 18-year career.
Levy has won six Australian Commercial Radio Awards, including for Best News Coverage this year, for broadcasting of the Bondi Junction attacks.
2GB Content Manager, Luke Davis said: “Over almost two decades, Mark Levy has proven himself to be one of Australia’s most gifted, hard-working and versatile broadcasters – and a favourite of 2GB listeners.
“As we usher in a new era of 2GB Mornings, Mark will make the 9.00am-12.00pm timeslot his own, with a fresh take on what matters most to Sydneysiders.”

Levy said: “As a young kid I grew up listening to the talkback kings and to be taking over a timeslot that’s been owned by a mentor and a friend for the last 20 years is something I am excited about and extremely honoured to do.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead and I can’t wait to speak to our loyal listeners every morning about the issues affecting them in what’s shaping up as an important election year.”
Hadley’s final show airs this Friday, with Levy taking over from Monday, December 16.

Is this what Nine Radio means when it says it’s programming to bring a new younger talkback audience to the station to keep it relevant? Innovative and bold.
