Australian radio stalwart John Brennan (Brenno) passed on the weekend, aged 89. Throughout a long career Brennan helped to transform the radio industry and in particular talk radio, including stints on 2UE and later 2GB.
He began his radio career not long after World War II, as a sports reporter and announcer. In the 1960s he took a struggling 2SM to the top of the ratings with the “Good Guys”, in the 1980s he installed the talent at 2UE who then helped lead the station to new heights, and then in the 2000s he moved over to 2GB, where it he then contributed to its success.
