Afternoons with Tim Webster 

Tim Webster loves to have a laugh and a bit of fun whilst keeping on top of the news of the day and the bigger issues.

Originally from Sydney, Tim Webster's rise from night time disc jockey at radio 2BS Bathurst in 1973 to Sydney's 2SM by 1974 was probably one of the fastest leaps from country to city radio in history.

Since the '80's Tim has also enjoyed an illustrious career in Television and is now one of Australia’s most cherished media personalities. He was the first newsreader on Good Morning Australia, presented Eyewitness News with Katrina Lee and for many years hosted the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
