With his contract about to expire, 3AW morning presenter Neil Mitchell is considering going part-time, according to a report in The Australian.
When asked whether the switch to part-time was a possibility, Macquarie Media CEO Adam Lang told radioinfo: “I think that Neil answered that one himself. I agree!” and quoted this paragraph from the article.
Mitchell’s 3 1/2 hour shifts at the AM radio talkback institution kick off each weekday morning with a 4am alarm and 5am arrival at the studio, and he has claimed 175 career No 1s since he stated in mornings in the early 1990s.
Mitchell’s media career has encompassed print journalism as well as broadcasting, with 16 years at The Age as a columnist and news executive, and was appointed editor at The Herald. With its 14.8 share, 3AW wins every timeslot, and is the most listened to in Melbourne.
