Mark Richardson, co-host of the Crowd Goes Wild Breakfast will leave NZME Radio Sport at the end of August with his contract not being renewed.

General Manager ‘Talk’, Dallas Gurney said: “Mark’s a great guy and he’s been part of the Radio Sport team over many years. We wish him well.

“We are 100% committed to Andrew Mulligan and the Crowd Goes Wild brand. Andrew is an absolute star and we are working through some exciting and fresh options that will take the show and Radio Sport to the next level. As you can imagine it is a highly sought after role with the success and following the show has.”

According to NZME’s own recent independent survey, Crowd Goes Wild Breakfast added an additional 10,000 listeners from the previous survey.
