Ross Solly to depart ABC Canberra

Canberra’s competitive breakfast radio market is set for a shake-up next year, after long-time ABC 666 host Ross Solly (pictured) announced his resignation on air on Thursday. After 20 years at the national broadcaster and nine years hosting the Canberra breakfast program Solly said he would move to Thailand to accompany his wife, ABC political reporter Samantha Hawley, as she takes up a new posting as south-east Asia correspondent.
