Tim Lee has been voted the best music announcer currently on Australian radio in the Game Changers Radio podcast’s The Magnificent Seven, polling more than 1,000 listener votes.

Up against six other contenders, the high-energy host and Assistant Content Director at Melbourne’s 101.9 The Fox took the crown just ahead of Triple M’s ‘Dangerous’ Dave Williams.

Also on the list were Nic Kelly (Hit Network Nights), Gordie Waters (KIIS), Mel Tracina (Nova), Dave ‘Higgo’ Higgins (Gold 104.3) and Ellie Angel Mobbs (B105).

Asked if he thinks his style has changed after more than two decades years on air, Lee told podcast hosts Craig Bruce, Irene Hulme and Wade KingsleyI think it’s changed heaps from the Hot 30 – which was like super-hypey and I was trying to be cool a little bit. But when I listen to the stuff I was doing on Fox days back in 2012, it’s quite similar. My voice has kind of even stayed in the same kind of register, so I can play artist interview grabs where my voice is in them and it doesn’t sound too different, which is crazy.”

Since when did Craig Bruce and his friends become self appointed experts on everything to do with radio ? These lists are subjective and not to be taken seriously

Hey Tish, sorry you’re not a fan of celebrating Tim’s work. It was voted on by a heap of listeners to our pod – not decided by us. Tim received over 1,000 votes.

Sweeping claim. I’m sure if another outlet ran a poll it would have wildly different results

@ Tish

Literally every list or countdown or awards show is made up by someone at some stage.

In this instance, they’re celebrating great Australian talent. So what’s the problem exactly?
