David Morrow steps down from 2GB
David Morrow will step down from his role on 2GB's Continuous Call Team, following a brain cancer diagnosis.
Morrow's colleague, Ray Hadley, announced the sports broadcaster's departure and cancer diagnosis on 2GB today.
Hadley revealed that Morrow was stepping back from all commentary duties to focus on his treatment and to spend time with his loved ones.
Morrow has been working at 2GB since 2015, with a career that has spanned 52 years, including over four decades of covering first-grade rugby league, eight Olympic Games, and six Commonwealth Games.
His colleagues have shared their support for the sports broadcaster.
Luke Davis, 2GB's Head of Content, said it had been an "honour" to have Morrow as part of the Continuous Call Team and the broader Nine Radio family.
"For more than five decades, David Morrow's voice has been the soundtrack of some of the greatest sporting moments Australia and the world has seen," Davis said.
"His knowledge and passion for sport has burst through Australian radios each and every weekend – a familiar and iconic sound.
"'Thirsty' has called countless epic individual performances and sporting battles in his time. He now faces his own battle, but does so with the backing of many mates in his corner."
Mark Levy, who is replacing Morrow and will take on the lead commentator roll for the Continuous Call Team's 2024 season, also shared his support.
"David Morrow is the most versatile sports commentator in Australia," Mark Levy wrote.
"To work alongside, learn and marvel at the ability of this incredible man is something I’ll cherish forever.
"Please spare a thought for Davey as confronts his current health battle," he continued.
"We all love ya Thirsty!!!"
Mark Levy will be joined by Mathew Thompson and Chris Warren for the 2024 season.
