104.9 TRIPLE M SYDNEY ANNOUNCES CHANGE TO DRIVE SHOW

19 July 2024

104.9 Triple M Sydney has announced a change to its Drive show, The Rush Hour with Gus, Jude & Wendell, with Wendell Sailor announcing his retirement from Triple M

STATEMENT FROM WENDELL SAILOR:

I have made the decision to step back from my professional commitments with Triple M, which is effective immediately. My primary focus now is dedicating more time to my children and pursuing grassroots interests.

I am deeply grateful for SCA’s understanding and support of my decision. Balancing my career with family life is my priority, particularly as I celebrate my 50th birthday this week.

Triple M has been an integral part of my professional journey. I have forged lifelong friendships and cherished every moment commenting on NRL matches and hosting The Rush Hour.

I am thankful for the encouragement I have received and am eager for my next chapter, to concentrate
on family, as well as interests such as golf and corporate opportunities.

Warm regards,
Wendell Sailor

SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron, said: “SCA supports Wendell’s decision to step away from The Rush Hour and the Triple M NRL commentary team to spend more time with his family. Wendell has forged a wonderful media career since joining Triple M in 2015 and we wish him well. We will always consider Wendell a member of the Triple M family.”

An update on a new member for 104.9 Triple M Sydney’s The Rush Hour show will be announced soon.
