Stuart Bocking has spent the best of part of the last two decades working in Australian radio at a number of regional and Sydney stations. 

After completing his HSC, Stuart studied a Bachelor of Economics at Macquarie University, majoring in accounting and finance.  He spent some time working for KPMG while dabbling in the finance sector but the lure of radio proved too strong.

Stuart gained a coveted place in the full time commercial radio course at the Australian Film, TV and radio school, and that’s led him to where he is today. 

He was part of the launch of Power FM in Nowra in 1991, working the 7 til midnight slot.  He then branched out into music presenting and news after making the switch to Coast Rock FM in Gosford.  In 1995, Stuart took a position in the newsroom at 2GB then enjoyed a brief stint at 2WS before commencing here at 2UE in July of 1996, just before the Atlanta Olympics.

Since then, he’s covered everything from Rugby League and the Sydney Olympics to numerous City to Surfs and State and Federal elections – and anything else that qualifies as news.  He was affectionately known as the 'Co-Driver' of the popular John Laws Morning Show. 

Stuart broadcast live from Brisbane as the 2011 Queensland Flood disaster reached its climax.  While covering breaking news developments, Stuart delivered insightful interviews with people on the ground including Prime Minister Julia Gillard at the Showground Evacuation Centre and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott on the banks of the flooded Brisbane River. 

While hosting the Summer Breakfast Show in 2010-2011, Stuart caught up with a host of stars including The Hoff, Lionel Ritchie and Guy Sebastian, not to mention William Shatner and Sir Michael Parkinson. 

In 2011, Stuart will continue to deliver his jam-packed Nights show, drawing together the threads of the day and projecting forward to tomorrow’s news, ensuring you don’t a miss a thing!
