John Campbell

An English literature graduate, former share trader and radio journalist, John Campbell joined TV3 in 1989. He spent time in the Press Gallery before fronting his own current affairs segment on 3News. In 1998 John Hawkesby's resignation saw him drafted in to read the 6pm news with Carol Hirschfeld. In 2005 he moved to 7pm to front Campbell Live. He has been called a "nerd" by one Prime Minister and a "creep" by another.

He’s an original. Totally enhanced by frenetic enthusiasms and eccentricities. But above all, he’s genuine. He never says ‘that was good’, he always says ‘how was that?'
