LEGENDARY media commentator Ken ‘KG’ Cunningham will reunite with Graham Cornes on FIVEaa next year.
Cunningham has revealed he’s leaving Triple M to return to the station where he spent nearly two decades co-hosting the drivetime sports show.
Cunningham, 79, will replace The Advertiser’s Michelangelo Rucci on the top-rating Saturday morning sports show from 9am-12pm starting in the new year.
“It’s come as a surprise. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Triple M but I’ve been offered a role at FIVEaa to work with Graham on the Saturday morning. It’s a wonderful opportunity,” he said.
“It has been a magnificent journey from my point of view so to get back and finish it with Cornesy.... it’s a fairytale ending in some respects.... I’m just so lucky to be able to go back to work with an old mate, it’ll be nice to get back and have a good time.
Cunningham is understood to have signed a three-year contract.
The former cricketer and umpire co-hosted the FIVEaa drivetime show with Cornes for 17 years before leaving the station in 2008.
For the last eight years, he’s worked at Triple M on their weekend Dead Set Legends sports show.
