Vale James Valentine.

James was a friend of the ASSG and was our awards host for a number of years in the past, even striking up his saxophone skills with the band at one point! He will be sorely missed, condolences to his friends and family

Veteran ABC broadcaster James Valentine has died aged 64 after being diagnosed with cancer.

He began his media career in the 1980s and was best known for presenting Afternoons on 702 ABC Radio Sydney for more than 20 years.

Before moving into radio, James played saxophone in the rock band The Models, and presented a children’s television show.

Outside of the ABC, he was the movie reviewer for many years on Showtime and appeared on programs such as Sunrise, Midday and Good Morning Australia.

James was diagnosed with cancer in 2024 and retired in February this year.

He’s survived by his wife Joanne and their two children, Ruby and Roy.

Nearly 70% of viewers now watch with subtitles. Not because mixers aren’t doing their jobs — but because the path from a dub stage to a living room TV speaker is full of invisible obstacles. At the 2025 AES Show, a panel of CAS members broke down exactly why this happens and what can be done. Spoiler: it starts before the microphones go up. The full breakdown is in the Spring 2026 issue of CAS Quarterly.
