Oldfield Overnight


2GB have confirmed that former New South Wales MP and One Nation Executive, David Oldfield will carry the station overnight from midnight-5AM each weekday.

Oldfield replaces Jim Ball who defected to 2UE earlier this month and takes over the reigns from Ball’s previous producer, Mark Kennedy who has been warming the chair until a permanent host was found.

Oldfield filled in for Ball over summer and was confirmed to fill-in through out 2008 but now he has his very own show albeit in the wee small hours.

He is the right fit for 2GB as Oldfield can be considered to be from the ‘right perspective’ that matches breakfast host Alan Jones political ideology.

Mark Kennedy who previously worked on Sydney’s WSFM as the breakfast producer and occasional host may be returning to a producing role with the overnight show but his on-air personality will hopefully find him his own slot. Kennedy has a naturally smooth speaking voice and should be utilised by 2GB.

From midnight tonight, March 31 David Oldfield can be heard on 2GB 873.

apparently the Mark Kennedy you refer to has been "boned" by 2GB over his racist comments.
