‘Very much up for payola’: Alex Cullen joins the Christian O’Connell show

Former Nine presenter Alex Cullen is joining The Christian O’Connell Show on Gold104.3, following the departure of co-host Jack Post last month.

Cullen left Nine’s Today show in a blaze of controversy earlier this year, after accepting $50,000 from billionaire Adrian Portelli in exchange for helping to rebrand him on air.

O’Connell announced the news on air this morning, joking that “Channel 9 might go ‘listen, we can’t have that’, but commercial breakfast radio, we are very much up for payola. Come on in. Don’t worry Alex, you’ve found a home here, my friend.”
