Howard Sattler (23 February 1945 – 11 June 2021)[1] was an Australian talk back radio host.
Sattler began his career as a cadet journalist for the Sydney Morning Herald before performing national service during the Vietnam War, during which he completed officer training and moved to Perth in a public relations position with the Australian Department of Defence.[2][3] From there he moved into broadcast radio,[4][5] although he also was a newspaper editor and columnist.[3]
He was considered to have introduced the shock-jock style of radio to Perth.[6] Although well known in his state of Western Australia after a 30 year long career on radio,[7] he gained national notoriety in 2013 when he was fired from radio station 6PR over a controversial interview with former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, in which he asked her whether her partner Tim Mathieson was gay.[8][3]
In 2018, Sattler was inducted into the Australian Media Hall of Fame.[9]
In his later years he developed multiple health conditions, including throat cancer,[3] and was diagnosed with PSB Steele Richardson syndrome (from which he eventually died[10]), which so affected his speech that listeners would often call in thinking he was drunk.[10] He became a vocal advocate for voluntary euthanasia laws.[11][3]
