Fitzy stays with 2UE

2UE breakfast host Peter FitzSimons will remain in his current position in 2007 after reaching an agreement with station management.

The former rugby great, author and renowned despiser of all things Kiwi will continue to join Mike Carlton after a successful first year in the chair, despite rumours last week that his wife Lisa Wilkinson may end up stealing the job.

2UE’s breakfast ratings ended the year on 9.4% still a long way shy of Alan Jones’ 14.0%, but considerably closer than at the start of the year.

Mediaweek magazine reports 2UE General Manager Simon Ruhfus: “He and Mike, like our other frontline broadcasters, can now look forward to a well-earned break in readiness for a big 2007”.
