Ben was announced as 2GB s breakfast radio host in May last year after Alan Jones retired from radio after 35 years on the airwaves.

In particular, he praised smoothfm’s owner NOVA Entertainment for being prepared for the pandemic, enabling on-air talent to shift to working from home without missing a beat.
“It certainly changed broadcasting, that’s for sure,” he said of COVID-19 in Tucker Media’s 2020 Re-Vision podcast.
“We had some very skilled technicians at NOVA Entertainment, which owns smoothfm and, unbeknownst to us, they did some planning in January after the first word came through about the possibility of an epidemic.
