It has been announced this morning on the Talk Back To Me program with Marcus Paul, on 2SM and the Supernetwork, that John Laws’ beloved wife Caroline, whom he referred to as “The Princess,” has passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Paul has posted on social media:

“John first met the love of his life at the tender age of 16. At the time Caroline was 14, and they met at a dance at a mutual friend’s Lindfield home in around 1951.

Rod Christopher has passed away.

Wayne McCardell has kindly supplied radioinfo with his memories of Rod Christopher.
 

I’ve since been in contact with Rod’s daughter Lissa who confirmed, "Dad had bronchial pneumonia just two weeks before he died. It is likely that the bushfire smoke made him vulnerable to the original infection as it was fierce in this region for quite a while from about November.

To acknowledge their sincere respect for Grant Goldman who recently lost his battle to cancer, 2SM Super Network Chairman Bill Caralis, the Caralis family and Super Network staff will show their respect for the influence Goldie had on the Super Network and the Australian radio industry in general.

At 9.00am Friday morning all 107 transmitters of the Super Network will fall silent for one minute to remember their friend, colleague, mentor and mate.

Gary O'Callaghan's funeral has been confirmed for 1pm this Monday at St Agnes, Port Macquarie.
 
The former Sydney radio icon passed away last week aged 83.
 
He started his career at 2SM and joined 2UE in 1956 where he stayed until his retirement in 2003, apart from a short stint at 2KY during Kerry Packer's brief ownership of 2UE.
 
O'Callaghan moved back to the mid north coast of NSW and continued to work at 2MC.
 

Highly respected News Reader Geoff Field who was suddenly retrenched from 2Day-FM after almost 19 years has quit 2SM after just six months.

Of his departure from 2Day Field has told his faccebook followers: "As many of you know I was angry and shocked, but in hindsight it was the best things that could have happened. 

 After more than 18 years working on FM radio, Geoff Field is heading back to AM ... and FM.
 
Geoff was unceremoniously let go from 2Day FM a year ago after the Hit Network opted for a national news update read by Emma Freedman.
 
After a year travelling the world with his partner Jason, Geoff will be joining the 2SM Super Network which not only supplies news to Sydney, but services almost 40 other stations in NSW and Queensland.
 

As radioinfo mentioned Friday, after 45 years in radio, former 2SM broadcaster Mal Hedstrom has ended his career.

His shift on Sun FM in Mildura was his last, describing it as "very emotional".

The station's General Manager Alan Burrows paid tribute to Mal.

"In my eyes Mal is an icon of the radio industry and an amazing man to listen to his stories of the wild days of radio in the 70's and 80's.
