The Herald Sun reported the media mogul would return to the footy media to name a choose variety of video games for 3AW in 2023.
Although it received’t be a full-time gig, McGuire revealed he would commentator on a handful of matches.
“I am normally on AW being attacked by the Rumour File or something,” McGuire joked.
“Obviously I founded Triple M football, so that was a big time in my life, and in recent times I have done a bit of calling on the television, but I always enjoyed calling on the radio.
“I am not going to do a whole lot (of calling) this year, because I have a lot of things going on, but it is nice just to keep your hand in and there are a couple of weeks that have been pencilled in.
“It will be really good to work with some different people. Tim Lane (also part of 3AW footy) came over and said ‘are we calling together?’ which is good because we didn’t at Channel 9 as it turned out.”
McGuire may also proceed on Footy Classified and launch a podcast with Jimmy Bartel.
“I have deliberately kept quiet for two years and now I am back in the media full time,” he mentioned.
“I have not been unencumbered (as a news breaker) since the 1998 season in many ways, so I will be back out and we will be breaking some stories.
“I think I have an understanding of what works and how the workings of the AFL and clubs are, and I will be unbiased and not extremist by any stretch.
“There is a lot more to discuss and a lot more things to elucidate for the footballing public and to treat the footballing public for what they are, which is very intelligent and understanding.
“I will start off the way I started as a young boy on Channel 10, come up with good stories, break a few yarns and get the conversation going.”
It comes a 12 months after McGuire revealed he was shifting on from Fox Footy.
McGuire had walked away from his 11-year Triple M breakfast present on the finish of 2020 and his 23-year tenure as president of the Collingwood Magpies in early 2021.
The Magpies exit was significantly messy after he resigned sooner than anticipated after resigning amid the discharge of the “Do Better” report into racism on the membership.
He copped a wave of criticism when he did not say the phrase “sorry” as soon as throughout an hour-long press convention as he touted the membership’s efforts in combating for racial equality.
