Geoff Field departs 2SM newsroom

Much-loved radio journalist Geoff Field has resigned from his casual news reading gig at 2SM and is expected to announce his new role on Monday.

Geoff has been with the Caralis-owned station for six months, under the leadership of news director Dianne Coveny-Garland.

About 18 months ago Geoff was suddenly retrenched from 2Day FM after almost 19 years with SCA.

“As many of you know I was angry and shocked, but, in hindsight, it was the best things that could have happened,” Geoff said in a Facebook post this weekend.

“I had many wonderful years working with people including Wendy Harmer, Andrew Denton, Jamie Angel, Ron E Sparx, Kyle andJackie O, Ellie Mobbs and Hamish and Andy – not to mention many wonderful people I respect enormously in the newsroom.

“I’ve been offered a new exciting opportunity in the industry doing something that’s a challenge and new for me.”

Radio Today will bring you all the details on Geoff’s new gig upon announcement.
