Neil Mitchell career

Mitchell was one of the youngest-ever editors of a major Australian metropolitan newspaper, The Herald, holding that position from 1985 to 1987.

He worked for The Age for sixteen years as a writer, columnist, and news executive, serving as sports editor for four of those years. He was employed by Time Magazine as well.

On the Nine and Ten networks, he hosted his own chat show and documentaries, both of which had brief runs. In addition, he contributed to two Seven Network shows as well as Sky News Australia.

In March 1987, Mitchell started working at Melbourne station 3AW. He began by filling in as a part-time weekend host and morning host for former broadcaster Derryn Hinch. In October 1987, he was named the drive-time program’s host.

He made the switch to the morning show in 1990, and he has been a prominent and prosperous figure ever since. In the inaugural season of the Australian comedy television show Frontline in 1994, he made an appearance as himself.

With a reputation for standing up for “the little guys,” Mitchell spends a lot of time on air addressing issues raised by his audience, who are invited to send in examples of red tape and bureaucratic mismanagement.

His successful campaign to have speed camera fines from malfunctioning cameras in Melbourne overturned is a well-known example; as a result, drivers received AU$26 million in refunds.

Mitchell’s workdays ran from 08:30 to noon, but he put in much more time off, often starting at 5 a.m. and finishing no later than 3 p.m.

In an attempt to acquire Mitchell’s services, competitor new talk station MTR made a concentrated effort in December 2009.

Following extensive discussions between 3AW and Mitchell, who was about to expire his contract, he ultimately chose to remain at the station, citing his commitment to his listeners as his primary motivation. He turned down a more generous offer from MTR.

Mitchell and 3AW agreed a new multi-million dollar, three-year contract in August 2011, with the commencement of play in January 2012. Mitchell declared in September 2023 that he would leave 3AW at the end of the year.
