John Williams leaves ARN after 36 years

WS FM and Mix 106.5 General Manager John Williams has resigned after 36 years with the Australian Radio Network.

He joined the company when Mix was called 2UW and was owned by the Albert Family.

radioinfo sources say Williams’ departure was not expected, but makes sense given impending changes to superannuation laws for someone of his length of service.

Sue Javes from the Sydney Morning Herald says that Williams told staff he had been in discussions with ARN’s Chief Executive Bob Longwell about his future within the company but at the end of the day Williams chose a complete change.
