Nova 100’s new breakfast show Ben, Liam & Belle will launch on Monday 5 December in Melbourne.
While radio’s regular breakfast teams take a break over summer, Ben, Liam & Belle will be live and entertaining Melbourne listeners in the lead up Christmas.
Announced as Nova 100’s new breakfast show last month, Ben, Liam & Belle are keen to get started. They will be live on Nova 100 right up to 23 December.
David McClung, Nova 100’s Program Director, says “We can’t wait for Melbourne to hear Ben, Liam & Belle. The great news is that they can’t wait either so they’re kicking off live on Monday.”
“Listeners can expect a show like no other in the Melbourne market. Ben, Liam & Belle are the mates on the radio you’ll love hanging out with – and of course, it wouldn’t be a radio show if the team didn’t give away some cash! They love Melbourne, and we’re sure Melbourne is going to love listening to them across the summer and into 2023.”
Over the past three years Ben & Liam and the team have looked for ways to not only entertain but also support their audience and the community. They have been prepared to attempt almost anything to provide some fun or to give back to their listeners and Melbourne listeners can expect the same commitment.
From kayaking 11 nautical miles in just under four hours or running a marathon without training (and surviving), to broadcasting suspended from a human billboard or trying for more than 12 months and over 5000 attempts to finally get a hole in one and everything in between – and what could go wrong when you take a group of listeners to Bali?!
Ben & Liam built a loyal national following during their three years as hosts of Triple J’s breakfast show and over the past three years have made big impact on Nova 919’s breakfast show in Adelaide. The team concluded their time on air in Adelaide at the end of October as the most listened to FM breakfast show in Adelaide for most of 2022 and the show #1 FM four times this year alone.
Ben Harvey says “After getting married in April, the bosses at Nova finally let me take my honeymoon across November. So, I’m refreshed, recharged and can’t wait to get on air on Monday!”
Liam Stapleton adds “Brekky shows always head off on leave at this time of the year – but we’re ploughing on! We are all so excited to spend Christmas with the people of Melbourne. It’s everyone favourite time of the year and we’ll have heaps of give aways to make it even sweeter!”.
Belle Jackson says “It’s so good to be home in Australia’s best city and now I can’t wait for Monday to get started on air with Ben and Liam and Nova’s listeners!”
The beauty of Chrissie Sam and Browny was it was brilliantly cast for the Melbourne market. This show feels like its been thrown together by Sydney programmers to fill a hole. Nothing about it excites.
Still wont get me to change from community radio that i currently listen to at breakfast
@PoorMan’s – It’s really poor form from you! Ben & Liam have worked (very successfully) together for YEARS! Crafting their comedy and content carefully at community stations before working on a national breakfast show, coming back to huge success in Adelaide through their hard work, dedication…and you think it’s just been ‘thrown together’. You’d very much struggle to find harder working people in breakfast radio. Ben and Liam will be more local to Melbourne than any other show there within their first month.
Quite a lot of unhappy comments from people in Adelaide on their Facebook page. Lots of replies trying to smooth things over now. Should have been more open with Adelaide listeners.
Yes.. It is clearly evident that they have to work hard at it..
A poor substitute for the old show that just seem to flow so naturally..
