Radio host Chris O’Keefe has quit live on air admitting that his decision to walk away from media in just a few hours was a “difficult decision” but the right one. The 2GB star, who has worked for Nine for 13 years and as a radio host for two years, announced the shock news on Friday afternoon and said today’s Drive show would be his last. “Today is my last show, and my last day in journalism,” O’Keefe said.

I thought we had a deal, I encouraged you to come to 2GB ... and now you bail on us,” Fordham said. “I was blindsided by your news ... it has blindsided us and we can’t shy away from that. it takes courage to do something like that ... I’m going to miss listening to you between 3pm and 6pm.” Mark Levy also paid tribute to O’Keefe..
