Amanda Keller and Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones re-sign with WSFM Breakfast

Reporter

Popular breakfast duo Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones and Amanda Keller have signed a multi-year deal to continue with ARN’s WSFM.

Set to celebrate a milestone 18th year together in 2023, Jonesy & Amanda are one of Sydney’s most successful and long-running radio teams, with the pair having claimed the #1FM Breakfast crown multiple times.

The announcement comes on the eve of the 33rd annual ACRAs, which take place in Sydney this weekend and will be hosted for the first time by Jonesy & Amanda.

The pair is in the running again for Best On Air Team (Metro FM), with the show also nominated for Best Networked Program and Best Radio Show Podcast.

On renewing their contract, Keller says “It’s a great thing to love coming to work. I’m lucky that I get to slug it out every morning with my best friend – laughing, crying, talking about the stuff that unites us all and fuels the lives of our listeners.”

Jones says “When I approached Amanda to work for me (I mean WITH me) back in 2004, I said ‘Just give me two years and that will keep me in work while I establish myself on breakfast radio.’ Two years has turned into what will be over twenty! I couldn’t be happier to be hanging out with my best friend Amanda.”

ARN Chief Content Officer Duncan Campbell says “Jonesy and Amanda are one of the most iconic radio duos in Australia and a hugely important part of ARN’s success. I am so pleased they have extended their contracts with the network. Their chemistry, light-hearted humour and genuine passion for radio is what makes them so entertaining, and why our listeners love waking up every morning with the pair.”

“We will continue to invest in great talent such as Jonesy and Amanda to ensure ARN’s continued growth and strong commercial offerings.”

Jonesy & Amanda can be heard on WSFM each weekday morning from 6-9am, with JAM Nation airing weeknights from 6-7pm.

From memory they replaced Hans and Kayley who were on air together for a number of years.

Hans left I think in 2003-04 and Jonesy was co-hosting with Kayley for about a year or so before Amanda took over.

Amanda, I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time and no one begrudges anyone else an ongoing living, but you have a serious case of Stockholm syndrome.
Babe. Please.
Check yourself as we used to say, before you wreck yourself.
Let’s come back down to Earth, yeah? I can organise a sponsored two week arc if needed.
