Ron Wilson was living and working in Darwin at the local television station when Cyclone Tracy struck during Christmas 1974. This tragic event in Australian history prompted Ron to move south and launch a highly successful career as a news and radio presenter.
His career included stints at 2WL Wollongong, 2SM, 2UE, and Good Morning Australia. Since 1994, Ron has co-presented Channel Ten’s News at Five.
Ron is an outstanding MC, having hosted numerous award nights such as the Small Business of the Year Awards, NSW Young Australian of the Year Awards, and the National Airports Awards. He has also provided in-house media training for large corporations including QANTAS and the Commonwealth Bank, as well as for many state and federal politicians.
For the past ten years, Ron has hosted the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal in Sydney. He is also heavily involved with the Variety Club of Australia and Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets.
