Triple J’s Tom Tilley to step down from Hack hosting role after eight years

Triple J’s Tom Tilley will depart as host of youth and current affairs program Hack at the end of the year, after eight years at the helm.

From 2020, Tilley will pursue “new opportunities” including continuing his work with The Project, and writing a memoir, after signing his first publishing deal with ABC Books.

The news was first reported in The Australian, which said Tilley had “called time” on Hack to take up a “new reporting and hosting role” at The Project. A Ten spokesperson said that Tilley’s only involvement is a continuation of his role as a contributor.
