Australian talk radio fixture John Laws announced yesterday (25 June) his intentions to retire after more than 50 years behind the microphone.
The 71-year-old said he will step down in November, planning to stay on the air through the 2007 federal election cycle.
Laws is heard by some 2 million Australians via more than 70 stations across the country. His programs originated from 2UE in Sydney, New South Wales.
