ABC Radio Melbourne has announced that Sammy J will leave his breakfast role at the end of this year.
Sammy said with his typical humour:
“Hosting Melbourne Breakfast was an unexpected opportunity that became an unexpected joy, but radio demands all of you and deserves nothing less, and after five years I’m ready to trade the 4:15am alarm for more regular hours.
I leave with pride, gratitude, and a litany of cash-for-comment scandals that will be revealed in due course.”
Sammy’s last day is Friday December 13 with Channel 7 State Political Editor Sharnelle Vella and former AFL player Bob Murphy to replace him. GfK Survey 7 is out tomorrow morning at 9:30 am.
With Sammy J’s departure I thought I’d take you back to 2021 and some ‘scathing’ comments printed about him in The Age.
