High profile news reader Geoff Field has left 2Day FM.
Field announced the news on social media this afternoon, telling his followers:
“I have left 2Day FM and I will be taking time out with Jason. Rest assured I’m OK, and once again thank you so much for your kindness over the years. I’m sorry I can’t reply, but I know you’ll understand…
“To the thousands of listeners, staff that I have respected and people that have supported me over the last 18 and a half years at 2Day FM, thank you. You have been so loyal and caring, and I will keep you posted as to my future now that I have left the station.”
Reminiscing on his 19 years in radio news earlier this year Field said in an article on radioinfo:
