Ritchie began his radio broadcasting career in 1976, when as a schoolboy, he rang ABC's youth radio station Double J and gave a critique of the Double J presenter's performance. The presenter suggested that if Ritchie could do a better job, he should do the show the next day. He did, and worked his way through a university degree as he worked shifts on Double J and then Triple J, including a stint in New York, before moving across to Radio National. He started Sound Quality in 1995.{{cite web | title=Tim Ritchie | website=ABC Radio National | url=https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/tim-ritchie/2913208 | access-date=15 February 2021}}
