Radio broadcaster Mick Molloy is leaving Triple M after 11 years with the station.
At the end of Molloy’s drive show on Wednesday, he quipped “there was something I was going to do and, for the life of me, it’s slipped my mind”.
Mick Molloy has announced he is leaving Triple M after 11 years.
“Oh that’s right, yes, sorry - announce that the show’s not coming back next year,” he said.
The broadcaster, who was at the helm of the much-loved Martin Molloy program along with Tony Martin between 1995 and 1998, returned to Triple M in 2011 after he was approached by group director Michael Fitzpatrick.
He joined Eddie McGuire and Luke Darcy on The Hot Breakfast, and moved to the drive program in late 2017.
On air on Wednesday, Molloy said he was sad to leave the station - his “spiritual home” - but the time felt right to pursue other challenges.
On Twitter, he said the time was right to “explore some exciting new creative opportunities that are presenting themselves for the years ahead”.
Molloy’s drive co-host Jane Kennedy quit the Triple M drive program in January this year.
