Ugly Phil

Throughout his career, Phil has hosted several notable shows, including the Hot30 Countdown,[1] the Drive on Nova 969,[2] and Evenings at Triple M multiple times.

The Hot 30 aired between 7-10pm Monday to Friday, often extending to 10:30 pm, much to the frustration of the next shift's host, which was loved by Phil's listeners.

He had the highest rating shift on Nova in this timeslot but left around the end of 2002 due to management difficulties.

Despite including interviews, prizes, and lighthearted talkback, the experiment didn't succeed, and his contract was not renewed at the end of 2003.

In July 2020, Phil returned to Australia and filled in on WSFM, permanently taking over the weekday 9am-1pm slot in November 2020.
