As a lifestyle expert with a knack for dissecting the intricacies of radio personalities, I must say that Sammy J’s departure from ABC Radio Melbourne is indeed a significant shift in the local broadcasting landscape. Having hosted the Breakfast show since before the pandemic, he has left an indelible mark on his audience with his unique blend of humor, insight, and unparalleled connection with listeners.

Radio host Sammy J has announced he’ll be leaving ABC Radio Melbourne after five years.

Sammy J, who has hosted ABC Radio Melbourne Breakfast for some time prior to the pandemic, expressed that he departs from the show feeling both proud and thankful.

Sammy J, otherwise known as Samuel Jonathan McMillan, expressed that hosting the Melbourne Breakfast turned out to be a delightful surprise.

however, radio requires your full commitment and nothing less, and after five years, I’m prepared to exchange my 4:15 am wake-up call for a more standard work schedule.

I depart feeling proud, thankful, and armed with numerous instances of pay-for-endorsement controversies set to unveil as needed.

As a seasoned lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to express that Sammy J has left an indelible impression on our audience at ABC Radio Melbourne. His influence is undeniable and his performances have resonated deeply with our listeners.

‘Sammy has asked the questions we never knew we wanted answered,’ Ms Hadfield said.

I’ve had the privilege of questioning world leaders, from the Prime Minister to the Premier, and it’s been an honor. I was the one who shared the heartbreaking news about the Queen’s passing with Melbourne. And let me tell you, I’ve chatted with musicians, magicians, butchers, and mathematicians – a truly eclectic mix!

However, the strong bond Sammy has with his audience is what truly defines his tenure at 774. Just witnessing the listeners arriving early in the morning for his live broadcasts makes it clear how much of a difference he’s made in their lives.

Sammy J’s final broadcast is scheduled for December 13th, and we anticipate further updates regarding ABC Radio Melbourne’s programming schedule for 2025 within the upcoming week.

Sammy left recently, following a controversial remark he made towards Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson on the radio, which occurred shortly after their setback in the Melbourne market in August.

In this month’s poll, the radio team finished in fifth place, but during the same period, Sammy J experienced an increase in ratings on his morning program at ABC.

The well-known humorist found it hard to restrain himself from showcasing his triumph, making a jab at The Kyle and Jackie O Show’s affinity for explicit material in a mocking social media post.

Sammy mentioned on his Instagram story that the many months he spent querying his ABC listeners about a particular action have proven to be worth it.

The off-color jest seemed like a deliberate allusion to a comment Sandilands made during his radio debut on Melbourne airwaves in April, aimed at his competitors.

At the event, Henderson, who is 49 years old, openly declared that she was free from Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), leading to Kyle inquiring about her views on anal intercourse.

The 52-year-old, meanwhile, introduced himself as an ‘ex F-boy, coke-sniffing a**hole.’

Meanwhile, Sammy J had a boost in listeners for his ABC Melbourne breakfast show.

He scored an audience share of 8.2 per cent in the August ratings, jumping from 7.3 in the last survey.
