ABC Radio Adelaide has announced Rory McClaren as the host of ABC Radio Adelaide Mornings in 2025.<\/p>\n
Rory will take on the role following the announcement that long time presenter David Bevan will retire at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to have been trusted to take over the Mornings program from David Bevan. Rory said \u201cIt\u2019s equal parts exciting and daunting to follow his lead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid has made an immense contribution to the state\u2019s media industry over decades. He\u2019s been a standard setter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll seek to build on his work, and of those who have gone before him, when I start in the Mornings chair.<\/p>\n
\u201cI firmly believe local voices and stories matter. Local audiences matter, and they will be my priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rory joined the ABC in 2021 and is the state political reporter with ABC News South Australia.<\/p>\n
He has covered politics full time at state and federal level since 2015, including stints in Canberra.<\/p>\n
No stranger to ABC Radio Adelaide audiences, Rory has been a regular contributor to ABC Radio Adelaide\u2019s landmark \u201cSpin Cycle\u201d program which examines SA politics on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Before he joined the ABC, Rory worked across a variety of commercial broadcast and print media organisations.<\/p>\n
Rory is also the President of the South Australia Press Club.<\/p>\n
ABC Radio Adelaide Manager Graeme Bennett said: \u201cWe are delighted to have Rory as part of the ABC Radio Adelaide team.<\/p>\n
\u201cRory\u2019s great strengths in political and news coverage across broadcast and online mediums are complemented by his passion for the community he serves.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is an incredible, fresh talent who has already laid the foundations of connection with our audience and he is natural fit for our long established role in holding those in power accountable and reflecting the life of our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rory will start on the program in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
