Crocmedia has secured exclusive commercial radio rights in a landmark six-year deal with Football Federation Australia

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.
 

Sad news overnight with the loss of two great media personalities who both got their start in radio.

Reg Grundy passed away yesterday aged 92.

Also over the weekend, former Wheels magazine editor and motoring expert and author Bill Tuckey passed away aged 80. Although Tuckey is well known as motoring journalist, he began his career as a broadcaster at 3DB in Melbourne in the early 1980s. 
 

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.

After 45 years in radio, former 2SM broadcaster Mal Hedstrom ends his career today.
