Mike Carlton has never been one to shy away from controversy and now he’s about to open up in a new book.
Outspoken throughout his radio and TV career, Carlton will launch his no holds barred story in his latest book On Air.
Publisher, Penguin Books, says On Air has been written with the Carlton’s characteristic humour and flair.
The book is all about the feuds and the friendships, the fun and the follies and the extraordinary parade of characters and events he has encountered in over 50 years in the media.
Our radioinfo inbox has been cluttered all day with emails and messages from 2UE insiders who have been telling us of a series of internal meetings today about impending changes to the Talking Lifestyle format.
We can't confirm anything at this time, but the scuttlebutt is that a change from lifestyle talk to sport talk is likely to be announced any day.
Few people reach a 60 year milestone in radio. That sort of celebration is reserved for monarchs blessed with longevity and few alternative career prospects.
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.
Did You Know... There was a 37.2% crossover of advertisers between SmoothFM and 2GB on air between 1 - 31 January 2017. That is, 37.2% of the advertisers heard on Smooth in January were also on 2GB in the same period.
Of the stations compared, the lowest crossover was between 2UE and WSFM with 21.2% - meaning the two stations have more spots from advertisers that are not airing on the other.
