He’s back today! Red Symons to fill hosting chair at 3AW

Red Symons is making a brief return to radio hosting duties.

Days after the ABC sacked the duo who replaced Red’s high-rating breakfast program, Neil Mitchell announced the former Skyhooks guitarist has a new gig.

Symons will fill-in for Neil Mitchell on 3AW Mornings for a week, commencing December 30.

It comes after the former Hey Hey It’s Saturday star has spent most of the past two years as a regular guest on 3AW.

Nine News’s Tony Jones and 3AW’s Heidi Murphy will host the remainder of Neil Mitchell’s summer break.

“Those two are hardened news veterans … what are you going to talk about?!” Neil asked Red when the pair made the announcement earlier this month.
