Nige Johnson takes time away from Breakfast radio as he recovers from stroke

Canberra’s Mix 106.3 has provided an update on Breakfast co-host Nige Johnson, following his recent absence from the airwaves.

Nige joined the show this morning to reveal that he recently suffered a stroke, and is currently taking time away from the Kristen & Nige Breakfast program to focus on his recovery.

He’s not expected to return to the show in a full-time capacity until next year.

The station says Nige is in good hands with his medical team, and is hopeful that its listeners will hear from him over the coming months as he continues his rehabilitation.

“At this stage, we’re aiming for a full-time return to the show with Kristen in January 2027, subject to medical advice.”

“Thanks, Canberra, for all the love and support you’ve shown Nige already. We know it means the world to him.”
