Brian Taylor

3AW Radio has confirmed Australia's most popular football caller Brian Taylor will be joining 3AW Football starting next season.

3AW General Manager Shane Healy says Taylor has taken the mantle for the past three seasons as the most popular radio football caller in the Herald Sun's annual survey and is ready to follow in the considerable footsteps of Norman Banks, Harry Beitzel and Rex Hunt who each enjoyed 20-year careers in Australia's top football calling job.

Healy paid tribute to Rex Hunt saying: "He has been a great asset for 3AW as a fine caller and entertaining character and we are disappointed he has chose not to finish his career here at 3AW."

"We respect, however, his decision and wish him all the best."

Rex Hunt will talk to Neil Mitchell for his last spot this Friday morning and will host his final fishing program this Friday evening at 7pm.

  • I have listened to the first half of the dogs and hawks NAB game. The commentrary without Rex is great and will be improved further when Brian Taylor joins the team

  • re mandys comments. Yes BT is the most boring commentor on air at present. I now turn off 3aw after Hinch has finished. Once the Sports Program was a "never miss" program

  • I have listened to Sports Today right from the first day with Hookesy & Gerard. I loove the show & always have. I was devastated when Hookesy passed away but I enjoy Dwayne's lateral thinking & Gerard is wonderful! Gerard & Hookesy helped me get through some of the worst times of my life with their wonderful show & I thank them for that. They don't even know how much they brighten people's lives & I am sure that there are many other listeners who feel the same way. After listening to BT on the show this week, my blood pressure is at BOILING POINT!!! He is SO negative, self-centred & grumpy about all sports & was so rude to dear Bill From Bendigo & many other regular listeners... I am outraged & angry that 3AW has replaced Rex Hunt with BT, & you will lose me as a listener to Sports Today if BT continues on my favourite show! PLEASE come back from Canada soon Dwayne! It is going to be the longest month EVER!! For me, all the listeners AND poor Gerard!!!
