John Kerr (broadcaster)

John Kerr previously hosted the top-rated weekend edition of the New Day Australia program from midnight to 6 am on 2UE and the Fairfax Radio Network as well as many regional affiliate stations.

Radio announcer Stuart Bocking replaced John in the weekday shifts of New Day Australia.

On 1 December 2012, during his 2UE show, John Kerr announced his retirement from radio after 55 years on the air, 18 of which have been on the overnight shift at 2UE, first on weekdays and now on weekends.

John made a private announcement to a select number of his biggest fans at a listener lunch in Sydney yesterday afternoon.

One of the more memorable if controversial features of his time running this segment was the recurrence with which he was made to field phone calls about Australian singer-songwriter, John Farnham, between 2005 and 2010.
