Neil Mitchell Announces Departure from 3AW Morning Show
Industry Icon Steps Down After 34 Years
Top earners in the Melbourne radio market revealed
Long-time Melbourne radio host Neil Mitchell has announced his departure from the top-rated 3AW morning show after 34 years.
Mitchell, who has been a constant in the lives of many Melburnians for decades, will step down from his role in December.
The announcement comes as no surprise to industry insiders, with rumors of Mitchell's impending departure circulating for months.
In August 2011, Mitchell signed a new three-year, multi-million-dollar contract with 3AW, which started in January 2012.
However, sources close to Mitchell say that he has been considering retirement for some time and is looking forward to spending more time with his family and pursuing other interests.
Mitchell's departure will leave a significant void in the Melbourne radio market, where he has been one of the most popular and influential broadcasters for decades.
It is unclear who will replace Mitchell as host of the 3AW morning show, but it is expected that the station will announce a new lineup in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Mitchell's departure has sparked speculation about the future of other top earners in the Melbourne radio market, including Fifi Box (101.9 The Fox), Sam Pang (Nova 100), and Mick Molloy (Triple M).
