In for the long haul: Alan Jones re-signs with 2GB

9/10/2008 2:25:00 PM.  | LIVENEWS.com.au
Leading Sydney radio broadcaster Alan Jones will be staying behind his 2GB breakfast mic until at least 2013, after signing a new agreement with Macquarie Radio Network.

The new contract blows away speculation the famously workaholic broadcaster would slow things down after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer this year.

Jones has dominated Sydney’s radio ratings since joining 2GB in 2002.

In 2004, Jones received a Queen’s Birthday Honour for his involvement with numerous charities as well as his service to the media and sports administration.

His new contract takes him up to 30 June, 2013.

Alan Jones’s column appears daily on LIVENEWS.com.au.

LIVENEWS.com.au is owned by Macquarie Radio Network, which also owns 2GB.

Fantastic news indeed!!!!!! All we need now is Ray to complete the quinella and the two best and inarguably incomparable presenters are devoting their services to the number one station in the cosmos - 2GB - for the long haul.

Thank God for 2UE, the ABC and the fact here in Newcastle we don't have to listen to the tripe that spills out of its mouth everytime it opens.

Congratulations to Alan Jones. I hope he looks after his health. Jason Morrisson did very well replacing him but Alan is still the favourite in this household

I am so glad I stopped listening to the other radio stations. I like to listen to 2gb. The debate is reasonable. Elsewhere, people have to agree to get online.

Congratulations on a well deserved and evergreen no.1 rating as a broadcaster. Your breakfast show has kept me entertained and sane through the morning peak for years. Thank you and best wishes.

Good work Alan - as a part-owner of 2GB it was thoroughly deserved.

Well, I suppose if you spell SUCK as SUK, and ENOUGH as ENUF you obviously wouldn't enjoy someone intelligent like Alan Jones. And if you DON'T listen to him to know WHAT he says your opinion isn't worth a lot, is it? And I'm surprised 2GB goes to Aberglasslyn. What do you know! Another one who doesn't listen to Alan but knows ALL about what he says. Not sure if Alan will lose any sleep over YOU two. Best wishes Alan, but slow down to a canter so you'll see the distance . Good health always.javascript:__doPostBack('btnUpdate','') Update
