Mike E and Emma’s new daily breakfast show on LiSTNR
After much speculation on where they would be heard next, LiSTNR today announced that long-time radio duo Mike E & Emma will be heard live on the new RnB FRIDAYS Radio station on LiSTNR and on DAB+, from Monday, February 28, 7-10am weekdays.
Famous for their relatable, nothing off-limits, entertaining, and honest show, Mike E & Emma will bring their show back to life every weekday with the hottest Hip-Hop and RnB music their fans love.
Made famous on the Hit Network which evolved into unforgettable nation-wide stadium tours that brought some of the globe’s biggest RnB artists to Australia, RnB FRIDAYS Radio is now its own 24/7 channel on LiSTNR and DAB+ with a live national weekday breakfast show.
Mike Etheridge and Emma Chow first began their radio journey together in 2010 on Sydney’s The Edge 96.1. Known for their real on-air chemistry, and their passionate, personal, cheeky, and playful content, after 11 years the pair has become one of Australia’s longest standing and most popular radio duos.
Looking forward to their new debut, the duo said: “We’re thrilled to be joining the LiSTNR family to host a breakfast show live on RnB FRIDAYS Radio! We love the fun, feel and passion for music that this music genre presents. We can’t wait to wake up every day with our listeners and bring back the show they love, with the music they can’t hear anywhere else, all day every day.”
“It’s a big task to launch a national breakfast show on LiSTNR, but we’re excited to be part of this new era in the future of broadcasting. We know our existing loyal listeners will love it, and we can’t wait to reach even more listeners around Australia.”
SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron, said: “LiSTNR is continuing to drive the digital audio pace in Australia as not only the country’s biggest audio content creator of on-demand and broadcast content, but innovative live exclusive programming across sport, news and entertainment.”
“To continue to lead this innovation, we’re hugely excited to launch the Mike E & Emma live national breakfast show exclusive to our new RNB Fridays Radio channel on LiSTNR and DAB+. Mike E & Emma have a large national following from their many years broadcasting together, and we know their passionate and loyal listeners, particularly in the Sydney market, have been demanding their return. It’s the perfect established show matched with the perfect established music brand to continue to drive new audiences to LiSTNR.”
From Monday to Friday the breakfast show will broadcast live on RnB FRIDAYS Radio on the LiSTNR app and will also be available where DAB+ is accessible across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
Listen to Mike E & Emma, weekdays 7-10am from Monday, February 28 – live on RnB FRIDAYS Radio on LiSTNR and on DAB+.
Whats next Tradies Day on DAB. Desperate move stealing these two. Only people that know them are Westies in Penrith.
So what’s happening with Urban Radio? SCA going to have two the same music profile stations on DAB+?
Interesting move, is this the start of grooming them both for 2Day breakfast in 2023?
So soon we will have not one but TWO digital RnB stations going. Poor Nova is all I can say. They will take one % each off Nova so Nova loses 2% makes 969 a 4-5 share and 100 – 5-6 share, 919 will be a 7-8 share and 106.9 a 10 share. Looks like SCA and ARN are ganging up on Nova. Game on.
