Hayley Pearson joins Max Burford for Mix 102.3 Breakfast show in 2025

Adelaide’s Mix102.3 has announced that Hayley Pearson will be joining Max Burford on its Breakfast show in 2025, following the departure of Ali Clarke.

To be known as Hayley & Max in the Morning, the show will debut on 20 January 2025.

Hayley briefly filled in with Max on Mix 102.3 earlier this year and has also previously worked on Breakfast radio at both Nova and SAFM.

She is currently the co-host of Channel 9’s HelloSA and the co-creator of Adelady.

Hayley says  “I never thought I’d do brekky radio again, but here I am – so excited to be heading back to my first love: radio! More than anything, I’m just so pumped to have fun and genuine laughs with Max and the whole Mix family every morning.”

“What makes this even more special is that when I was 15, I did my Year 10 work experience at Mix 102.3. It was at that moment that I realised I wanted to be a radio announcer, so this feels like a sweet little full-circle moment.”

Co-host Max Burford says “Hayley’s a gem, our time together earlier this year was short but very sweet. She fit in seamlessly, and it felt like we’d been working together for years. This show is going to be a stack of fun every morning.”

ARN Chief Content Officer, Duncan Campbell says “We are thrilled to welcome Hayley to the Mix 102.3 family. We know that Adelaide is going love listening to her and Max as they keep the listeners entertained, informed and inspired.”

Last month, Clarke confirmed she was stepping down from her role as co-host of Max & Ali In The Morning after three years to follow her heart, and explore other adventures.

 Hayley & Max in the Morning debuts Monday, 20 January, from 6am – 9am.
