Quick Contact
Tony Squires is one of Australia’s most popular and experienced media personalities, as well as a highly sought-after corporate entertainer, speaker, MC and quiz master.
Best known as host of Fox Sports’ weekly panel show Back Page and for his long-standing presence across Triple M’s radio network, Tony is renowned for his warmth, quick wit and ability to talk about just about anything — particularly sport.
Originally from Newcastle, Tony has built a diverse career spanning stage, music, radio and television, often collaborating with fellow Novocastrians Mikey Robins, Steve “The Sandman” Abbott and John Doyle (aka Roy Slaven). After famously missing out on NIDA, Tony channelled his theatrical ambitions into media, carving out a distinctive voice in sports broadcasting and entertainment.
His television career includes creating Inside the Arena for Foxtel, hosting the cult ABC sports panel show The Fat, and later fronting Seven Network’s 110% Tony Squires. He has also hosted Seven’s Athens Olympic coverage and the One Day Cricket series in England alongside Stuart MacGill and Kerry O’Keeffe. Tony has presented sport on Seven’s 6pm News, appeared on Sunday Night, and co-hosted Sydney’s Vega 95.3FM breakfast show.
A respected journalist, Tony has worked as a feature writer, columnist and section editor at The Sydney Morning Herald, where he edited The Guide and served as deputy sports editor. He has written for major newspapers and magazines nationwide, including a year-long pop culture column for The Sunday Telegraph. In 2009, he published Cracking the Footy Codes, a tongue-in-cheek guide to understanding AFL, rugby league, rugby union and football.
Tony has hosted major live events, including the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and is a favourite in corporate settings for his sharp humour and effortless audience engagement. A passionate — if long-suffering — St George Illawarra Dragons supporter, he is also an ambassador for the Sydney Swans, delivering his popular “Week in Sport” segment to Chairman’s Club guests at home games.
With decades of media experience and a natural flair for live performance, Tony brings intelligence, humour and professionalism to every event.
