The son of businessman John Elliott had had his show relayed from Melbourne’s 3AW to the Border since 2014.
ACE radio chief executive Mark Taylor said there had been a “lot of calls for more music”.
“It was not a decision taken lightly, it’s nothing against Tom, we just think it’s the way to go,” Taylor said.
In addition to 2AY, Elliott is no longer being broadcast on ACE stations in Gippsland, Warrnambool, Colac and Swan Hill.
“We just think in a regional area you’ve got all that information with (fellow 3AW relayed broadcaster Neil) Mitchell in the morning,” Taylor said.
Last year’s Wodonga Carols by Candlelight co-host Anthony Thompson will be the afternoons announcer.
