The Nine studio is set to undergo a transformation in tribute to the late radio caller, David "Thirsty" Morrow, a beloved sports broadcaster who recently passed away after battling brain cancer.
In a heartwarming gesture, colleague and friend Mark Levy announced that the Pyrmont studio will now be known as the "David Morrow Olympic Studio".
The news of this renaming comes as former NRL stars like Andrew Johns and commentator Darryl Brohman, along with other family and friends, gathered at St Brigid's Church in Coogee to bid farewell to the iconic radio figure.
Among the touching moments of the service was the placement of a St George Illawarra Dragons bomber jacket on Morrow's casket, accompanied by the sound of AC/DC's classic anthem, "It's A Long Way To The Top".
Throughout the service, various items dear to Morrow were laid on his casket, including an Olympic flag and a 2GB cap, symbolizing his passion for both sports and broadcasting.
Attendees paid tribute by wearing red attire and ribbons, a nod to Morrow's unwavering support for the Dragons.
The renaming of the studio not only immortalizes Thirsty's legacy but also serves as a poignant reminder of his contributions to the world of sports broadcasting.
In true sporting fashion, this gesture honours a true legend who will forever remain in the hearts of fans and colleagues alike.
