Jim Callinan to replace Frank Barrett on Triple M Newcastle
He will be replaced by current Fox Sports News and Sky News presenter, Jim Callinan.
Alongside existing commentators Michael ‘Hages’ Hagan and Marc ‘MG’ Glanville, Callinan will call every Newcastle Knights match throughout the NRL season from Thursday, March 11.
Triple M said Callinan’s experience in live television, plus his extensive list of sporting contacts throughout the Hunter and Newcastle regions will make him the perfect addition to the program.
SCA Newcastle content director, Jase Allen, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Jim to the Call Team alongside Hages and MG. Having an expert panel of Novocastrians who can deliver an informative and entertaining call, will continue to make it the number one destination for local rugby league in 2021.
