Early life[]

The youngest child of John & Jenny Roxborogh, a Presbyterian minister and English teacher respectively, Tim's parents moved their young family from New Zealand to Malaysia when he was only one and a half years old.[2]

Career[]

Upon returning to New Zealand, while still in high school, Tim's knowledge of the Bee Gees enabled him to win a radio competition through Classic Hits. The prize included a meeting with the Bee Gees backstage on their 1999 tour to New Zealand. This opened the door at the age of 17 for his first on-air role in radio on a twice-weekly segment called 'Beat the Professor' talking music trivia with callers on Peter Sinclair's programme on Classic Hits.[2]

Tim started filling in on the breakfast programme on Easy Listening i at the age of 24 and at 26 years old he landed the breakfast role full-time.[2]

In 2012 Roxborogh was paired with Pam Corkery to create Newstalk ZB's Sunday night talkback programme The Two.[3] When Pam departed Newstalk ZB in 2014 to work for The Internet Party, TVNZ journalist Tim Wilson joined Roxborogh on The Two.[4][5]

In May 2018 Tim Roxborogh and Tim Wilson were moved to Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 3-6pm on Newstalk ZB, creating the new show The Weekend Collective.[6] At the end of 2019 Tim Wilson moved to anchor Sunday nights with replacing him alongside Roxborogh on The Weekend Collective.[7]

Family life[]

Tim married Aimee Roxborogh in 2017.[5] The couple met in high school and reconnected later in their thirties.[2] In July 2019 they became parents to Riley.[2]
