About Philip Clark
Philip Clark was a radio personality, known for 2GB and History of ABC Radio (Australia).
Philip Clark (born May 1956) is an Australian radio presenter. He is best known for his work at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and at Sydney commercial station 2GB.
Since 2016, he has hosted the Monday to Thursday editions of Nightlife on the ABC Local Radio network. He studied arts and law at the Australian National University in Canberra where he lived from 1974 to 1987. The program analysed how the station was able to gain so much direct access to the Corby family when other media outlets weren't able to, which was illustrated by Clark interviewing Mercedes Corby on his drive program on 15 April 2005. However, he was let go from the station just five months later.
In 2014, Clark rejoined the ABC when he took over from Ross Solly as host of Breakfast on 666 ABC Canberra. Clark hosted the program for almost three years before he was named as one of Tony Delroy's successors on ABC Local Radio's national late night program Nightlife in late 2016. Clark was announced as the new host of the Monday to Thursday editions of the program, while Sarah MacDonald was named as the Friday to Sunday presenter as the show took on a new 7-day format.
Clark has also worked in television, having hosted more than 170 episodes of ABC TV's quiz show Flashback in 2000, and having been a regular guest on Meet the Press and Sunrise. In 1996, he was also the first person to host the annual Andrew Olle Media Lecture which was delivered that year by David Williamson.
