Oh. James Valentine died.

I remember him from hosting ABC afternoons on tv, introducing classic shows like Monkey.

Veteran 702 ABC Sydney announcer James Valentine has died aged 64 using voluntary assisted dying at home two years after a cancer diagnosis.

The broadcaster hosted radio and television shows across the ABC for 30 years, most notably presenting the Afternoons radio show for more than 20 years.

Valentine retired from 702 ABC Sydney in February after 25 years with the station, citing the need to focus on his cancer treatment.
