==Career== Robbie's radio experience began in his home town of [[Lismore, New South Wales|Lismore]] where he took up a late night shift on the local radio station. Once he moved to [[Sydney]] he began doing graveyard shifts on community station [[2SER]], and eventually became a full-time employee for the station.<ref>{{Cite web |last=2SER |title=40th Birthday Robbie Buck and Richard Kingsmill |url=https://2ser.com/2ser-40th-birthday-robbie-buck-and-richard-kingsmill/}}</ref> Following this, he spent time at [[Special Broadcasting Service|SBS]] radio and TV as a sound producer. During his time at SBS, he co-hosted ''[[Alchemy (TV series)|Alchemy]]'' which was a late night TV program focused on the electronic music scene. In 2003, he took on the role of a new show at the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|Australian Broadcasting Corporation's]] [[Triple J]], ''[[Home and Hosed]]'', the successor to [[Richard Kingsmill]]'s ''[[Home and Hosed#Precursor|Australian Music Show]]''. The new program aired every weeknight from 9 pm for two hours, replacing the single three-hour timeslot that Kingsmill's show had taken. The show cemented the station's tradition of being a strong supporter of [[Australian music]] at a time when the station was going through turmoil in management changes. In 2006, [[Caroline Tran]] took the reins of ''Home and Hosed'', and Robbie started a new program ''Top Shelf Radio'', airing in the afternoon drive timeslot from 3 β 5:30 pm. He remained the host of the program until the end of the 2007 ratings period, to make way for ''Dools and Linda'' in 2008, hosted by [[Scott Dooley]] and [[Linda Marigliano]]. Robbie subsequently joined [[Lindsay McDougall]] and [[Marieke Hardy]] to host the new breakfast show, ''Robbie, Marieke and The Doctor''. During his time at Triple J, Robbie also hosted the Lunch and Weekend Lunch shows, and has appeared on ABC TV programs including ''[[Mondo Thingo]]'' hosted by [[Amanda Keller]]. In September 2009, Robbie announced that he would be leaving Triple J to host the Evenings program on [[702 ABC Sydney]], [[1233 ABC Newcastle]], [[666 ABC Canberra]] and [[ABC Local Radio]] stations across [[New South Wales]]. In 2012 he was replaced by Dominic Knight and moved on to host ''The Inside Sleeve'' on [[Radio National]] until the end of the 2013 ratings year. Buck returned to 702 ABC Sydney in 2014 when he replaced [[Adam Spencer]] as host of Breakfast 5:30 β 8 am weekdays.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.canberratimes.com.au/|title=Canberra news, sport and weather {{!}} The Canberra Times|website=www.canberratimes.com.au|access-date=2019-11-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/insidesleeve/about/| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120212183240/http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/insidesleeve/about/| archive-date = 2012-02-12| title = About - The Inside Sleeve - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)}} </ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/robbie-buck-to-replace-adam-spencer-on-702-abc-breakfast-20131121-2xxcp.html|title=Robbie Buck to replace Adam Spencer on 702 ABC breakfast|last=Carroll|first=Lucy|date=2013-11-21|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|language=en|access-date=2019-11-26}}</ref> On 1 October 2021, Robbie announced via ABC news that he was leaving his ABC Radio Sydney breakfast show that he co-hosted with [[Wendy Harmer]] for three years, stating they had decided to "go out on a high".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Abc|date=2021-09-30|title=Wendy Harmer and Robbie Buck to leave ABC Radio Sydney breakfast|language=en-AU|work=ABC News|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/wendy-harmer-robbie-buck-leave-abc-radio-sydney-breakfast-show/100503556|access-date=2021-09-30}}</ref>
