Sydney’s 2GB and Brisbane’s 4BC have today announced that multi-award-winning Australian broadcaster, Phil O’Neil, will be stepping into the role of Overnights host in 2025. Currently at the helm of WSFM Sydney’s Morning show, Phil has built a strong following, backed by high ratings and a prestigious 2024 ACRA win for Best Music Presenter.
His career includes hosting top-rated shows in Australia and the UK, earning multiple Sony, New York Radio, and British Radio awards. His hit programs “Ugly Phil’s Hot Hits Chart Show” and “Ugly Phil’s Hot 30 Nightly”. No stranger to talk radio, Phil has also worked at both 2UE Sydney and London’s LBC Radio.
Phil O’Neil said, “All the roads I’ve travelled have led to this moment. There are no finer radio stations to pursue my talk radio aspirations than at 2GB and 4BC. This really is the most exciting and pivotal moment of my career.”
Nine Radio Content Manager, Greg Byrnes said, “Phil will bring fresh energy to overnights and is an exciting addition to our new lineups in Sydney and Brisbane. He’s engaging, entertaining and has a loyal following. Phil loves talk radio and our early morning listeners are going to love him.”
Overnights with Phil O’Neil will be heard Tuesday-Friday on Sydney’s 2GB and Brisbane’s 4BC, commencing Tuesday March 4, 2025.
Melbourne broadcasting mid to dawn Monday to Friday is a disgrace and the ABC has grabbed the opportunity to bring back Tony Chapel in that time slot , but that’s not why I rang ,if Management fails to respond to the new ABC line up across the board it will be difficult to maintain relevance.
