The Hit Network is gearing up for the summer heat with a new lineup for its special national metro breakfast show.
Southern Cross Austereo announced that Grant Denyer and Yvie Jones will take to the studio for two weeks starting December 9. Jones had recently substituted for Fifi Box on FOX FM, while Denyer is fresh off the cancellation of his 2Day FM brekky show with Ash London and Ed Kavalee.
“Grant and Yvie are both much loved members of the Hit Network and we are thrilled to announce they will be on air this December as part of our national summer breakfast line-up,” said Hit Network boss Gemma Fordham.
In other Hit Network news, Hit90.9 Gold Coast confirmed that afternoon host Scotty Couchman is now wearing two hats – as morning show host and operations manager. He had been on the afternoon circuit for a year.
“Scotty has been instrumental in the launch of the new Hit90.9 brand and is an integral part of keeping this station functioning at its best,” said Hit90.9 content director Allison Longhurst.

Ahern leads new STEM publication
By Jonas Lopez in Media News on Thursday, 06th August 2020 at 9:12pm
Ex-Cosmos Media CEO/co-founder Kylie Ahern has come forward with a new STEM newsletter called The Brilliant.
Scheduled for release every Thursdays, the publication is designed to educate the public on STEM-related matters, including profilers on leading researchers and new scientific advances.
It will also support the advocacies of industry body STEM Matters, of which Ahern is the CEO.
“There’s definitely a hunger from within the STEM sector, and from the wider community to hear from the experts and be inspired by the progress and results in meeting the biggest challenges that we face as a society. The Brilliant plugs that knowledge gap,” said Ahern.
The plan calls for The Brilliant to be published as a free newsletter, with paid advertisers to follow if readership grows.
