After a 33-year radio career, the Mid North Coast’s Mark ‘Strawny’ Strachan from 100.7 and 106.7 Triple M has retired from Breakfast radio.

He announced his impending retirement in October this year.

Strawny has been waking up the Mid-North Coast of NSW for more than three decades and is a much-loved celebrity of the local community. 

He now plans to do some volunteering and grey nomad travelling in his retirement, and says, “I have used a great saying on-air over the years after we’ve done a great promo or given a ripper prize away, ’Before I retire, I hope I never have to get a real job!”

Listeners to the breakfast program will maintain their connection to Strawny with son, Alex Strachan taking over the program on Monday 16 January.
