Discussing his axing he later told Daily Telegraph that despite being dropped by the network he “didn’t want to upset anyone” by revealing further details on the decision.

“ … I’m limited on what I can say because I’ve just got a few little loose ends tie up with 2SM yet, so I don’t want to upset anyone in that area,” Wilson told Sydney Confidential.

“They had an option on the contract just to give it a try out for six months, and that’s exactly what happened.

“It wasn’t quite what they were looking for.

“So we decided that it is probably best we leave it where it is for the time being and we will both go on our merry way.

“It is a very very difficult time in electronic media at the moment, so they are going to make little cuts where they can and I am assuming I am part of that.

“We have left on a handshake and it’s all good. The industry is too small to burn bridges, so I won’t be doing any of that,” he added.

His axing comes just six months after he was heavily advertised by the network as their latest hire.

At the time, co-owner of the 2SM Super Radio Network George Caralis said Wilson was the perfect fit for the relaunch of 2SM, and that they were, “hiring top talent instead of letting them go.”

For six months he presented from 2SM’s Pyrmont studios from 5.30am weekday, going up against Sydney talk radio competitors Ben Fordham and Craig Reucassel.

According to Daily Telegraph, rumours are circulating that 2SM is now hoping to poach broadcaster Tim Webster from ABC Radio Sydney.
