“It’s been such a privilege.” ABC Radio Sydney’s Robbie Buck announces his departure

Robbie Buck is the latest departure at ABC Radio Sydney, announcing on air that he won’t be returning in 2025.

Buck told listeners that after almost 30 years with the national broadcaster, he is finishing up as a full-time host, admitting it’s a sad moment for him.

“I’m stepping back from the ABC somewhat, which is a big move for me. I have been here over 28 years as a constant employee, and it’s been such a privilege to have been a part of this organisation.”

“I am hoping to still have a toe in the water here on the airwaves, and so I’m hoping to pop up from time to time, but it just seems like it’s the right time for me to step back.”

Buck spent 13 years at the ABC’s youth station triple j, plus several years at ABC Radio National.

He also hosted ABC Radio Sydney Breakfast for 8 years – four of those alongside Wendy Harmer.
