has been named the number one morning show in Australia for the 158th time running, marking 20 years of back-to-back ratings wins iconic broadcaster Ray Hadley."One of the young ones at work said, 'Are you going to go out and celebrate?'" he says."I said, 'No, I've got to get up at half past three in the morning and do this again.'"
Hadley counts this 20-year milestone among his greatest career achievements, a list which includes Johnny Tapp giving him the go-ahead to call his first race in 1984, then calling Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe's Olympic wins in 2000.His only advice is to "be yourself", something mentors like Gary O'Callaghan drilled into him at the start of his career.
"There have been difficult times in my life, personally and professionally I could have folded up a tent and thought, 'I can't take this anymore,'" he says.The hard work paid off, but it took a toll on his personal life and his four children, Daniel, Emma, Sarah and Laura. "They didn't ask to be part of that deal and so I guess if I had my time over again, which I don't, I'd do it differently.
