Veteran Australian radio host Brian Wilshire, 81, dies after 36-year stint on 2GB's Overnight program.
Brian Wilshire, a veteran 2GB radio presenter who hosted the Australia Overnight program for 36 years, has died at 81 after a private battle with illness.
Known for creating popular shows like Midnight Matchmaker and Instant Drama—later evolving into Theatre Sports—he was a respected figure in Australian radio, remembered for his humor, fairness, and influence on night-time broadcasting.
His passing was announced by colleague Michael McLaren, who expressed regret for not reconnecting sooner, as Wilshire’s final message came just days before his death.
Colleagues praised his legacy, impact on ratings, and mentorship, though he remained relatively underpublicized despite his significant contributions.
