Veteran radio newsman Steve Blanda has reappeared less than three months after the closure of the Radio 2UE newsroom. 

Smoothfm has today confirmed the multi award winning journalist/newsreader will join Smoothfm’s news team from June 15.

In a statement Blanda said: “I’ve loved Smoothfm since its inception so it’s great to be part of the family.”

Blanda is a stalwart in the Australian radio and news industry having won a record 18 ACRAs. He spent almost two decades presenting the news at talk station Radio 2UE.

Matt De Groot, NOVA Entertainment’s national newsroom manager said: “Ever since Steve finished on 2UE, everyone had been wondering where he would end up. It’s a major credit to Smoothfm that Steve has chosen the station as the next step in his highly decorated career.”
