Early life

Sinclair continued his association with the Network through its AM stations in Sydney and Melbourne conversion to the FM band until 2001. Sinclair was host of several nationally syndicated radio shows during the 1980s and 1990s for Grace Gibson Radio Productions and ARNSAT including The Hitfile, Music Over Australia and How it was-When it was. Following a take-over and sale of ARN to Australian Provincial Newspapers and America's Clear Channel Communications, Sinclair found himself back in the Regional Radio Market working for DMG Radio Australia, who had recently launched its Nova network across the country.
