Radio great sets retirement date
Posted October 20th, 2009 by debritz
She's produced the big names of Brisbane radio -- Wayne Roberts, Jamie Dunn and Ian Skippen, Peter Dick, and now Spencer Howson -- she has the best contact book in the business and a knack for tracking people down in the wee hours to talk on air. Now the word from 612ABC, where she is piloting the top-rating breakfast show, is that Majella Marsden is set to retire in February next year after three decades in the biz. Few people are as well connected and universally admired in the broadcasting industry as Majella, and I hope she receives a huge send-off.
Disclosure: Brett Debritz is heard on 612 ABC on Wednesday mornings.
Couldn't agree more ...
The best in the biz and Spencer's loss will be Barry's gain!
All the best Madge ... you're one of a kind.

I intend to chain her to the producer's desk in the on-air studio Brett! Way too valuable to lose to retirement!
Thanks for the comment KDH - Maj
Wow, Majella, see you at CottonTrees, you deserve the break. Congrats on holding it all together. How much are you sellingy our contact book for, lol. hugs and take care
I had the pleasure of dealing with Majella a few times on the PR side of things and she was always a gem to deal with! Best wishes, Majella!
Majella is one of the best people I've ever met in my life. She's just so helpful, kind, clued-in, and above all, fun. I wish her all the best - and only wish I'd got to work with her more!
Good riddance!
