Veteran radio broadcaster, John Kerr, was honoured in Sydney last night, with a special tribute dinner to celebrate another significant milestone in his star-studded radio career.
This month, Kerr will have notched up 18 consecutive years behind the 2UE microphone – in a radio career spanning more than half a century.
In November this year, Kerr reaches a milestone achieved by very few – 55 years in radio.
A small group of close friends shared a sumptuous meal at Bel Mondo in The Rocks. Including Hall of Famers John Laws and Bob Scott along with Steve Liebman singer John Williamson and actor Graeme Blundell.
2UE General Manager, Chris Parker, said it was an honour to be recognising an institution of broadcasting like John Kerr.
“John is one of a kind and a true legend of Australian radio,”Mr Parker said.
“When it comes to working behind the microphone – John Kerr has done it all. John is an utter professional in everything that he does and has been informing and entertaining listeners for more than half a century.
“To have worked at the highest levels of broadcasting for as long as John has, is testament to his talent, expertise and skill as a radio professional,” he said

Thanks!
Melissa & I congratulate John Kerr on his 55 years in ERadio in Sydney.
Congratulations John. 18 years ago John and I started a new style of mid dawn program and I enjoyed every moment of the 7 years we worked together. It is no coincidence that with all the changes that have happened at 2UE in the past decade or so, John is the one constant on air.
55 Years is an amazing achievement and he deserves so much more recognition for all that he has done to entertain and inform his audience.
