Tributes have been paid to Australian radio legend Doug Mulray who has died at the age of 71 after a long illness.
He died peacefully yesterday with his long-time partner Lizzie and business partner Hamish Cameron by his side.
The death of Mulray - known as "Uncle Doug" nationwide - leaves a rich and much loved legacy, his friend of more than 40 years, Stewart White, said today.
"His irreverent breakfast show on Sydney's Triple M broke new territory in Australian radio in the 80s and 90s," White said.
"For more than a decade Sydney woke up to 'Uncle Doug' Mulray, with his rapid-fire quips, parodies and unbridled naughtiness that had morning driving commuters in stitches."
"From the formative years of Triple M, and FM radio ...his show's ratings share grew from 2.6 per cent to over 18 per cent, thrusting Triple M into number one status."
