Paul Murray joins 2UE as ‘next generation’ of talk radio
Just a day after being signed to a three year TV deal with Sky News, Paul Murray has switched his radio allegiances from Austereo’s Triple M to Fairfax Media’s Sydney talk station 2UE.
The move has been described by 2UE’s GM Tim McDermott as part of a coming “generational” change for the talk radio format.
An announcement from Triple M said: “Paul Murray is making the move from Triple M Sydney across the bridge to 2UE after five years with Austereo. Paul came to Triple M as an ACRA award winner for radio journalism, and leaves the station with a far sharper wit and passion for rock.”
Murray presents Triple M’s Sydney drivetime show with Rachel Corbett from Tuesday to Thursday. His last show will be in a fortnight’s time.
Paul Murray has a very similar style to 2GB’s Jason Robertson, which I say as a good thing.
As a long time fan of talk radio, it’s great that we have some generational change coming through!
Correction, Jason Morrison!!!
Well about time 2UE did this, they’ve needed to for years. Congrats, Paul!
Any word on what shift he’ll be doing?
Great step forward for Fairfax to snare him. I have found Paul to be one of those presenters who is easy on the ear, and can get a point across without adopting his peers approach of ramming their opinion down your throat (yes Spoonman, that list includes you.) A very good generation bridge, and I will be interested to see what timeslot they give him. Best of luck Paul.
Great move for Paul. ElCraigo – well noted – I know that, years ago, Paul and Jason Morrison were very good mates – assuming they still are now.
Next move… get David Speers (from SkyNews) on Talk Radio. The guy is a brilliant talent – and top bloke to boot!
