With 199 survey wins in 30 years of broadcasting under his belt, Alan Jones tells Chris Smith who helped him along the way and who didn’t.

Alan Jones credits radio star-maker John Brennan with discovering him but not everyone at 2UE shared Brennan’s faith. At first, station management agreed to put him on Mornings with a big name female co-host but Brenno insisted he do it alone or not at all.

Jones also tells the Chris Smith Afternoon audience exactly why negotiations between him and 2UE broke down, prompting him to take an offer from 2GB.
