Welcomes new Saturday morning team, and Breakfast double-header.
WA-born journalist Paula Kruger joins Peter Bell in the Breakfast studio from January 22. The new shared timeslot between 5am – 10am includes a half hour break for AM, presented by Sabra Lane at 8am.
Audiences will still get all of Peter Bell’s breakfast radio benefits they’ve grown to love since October 2016, with the added input from Paula, who returns home to WA after 25 years working in South East Asia and eastern Australia.
ABC journalist and producer Nadia Mitsopoulos jumps behind the mic for a new program Focus Perth at 10am weekdays.
After eleven years presenting the morning shift on ABC Radio Perth, Geoff Hutchison has decided he’d like to set the alarm clock for slightly later and is moving to across the day to present the Drive program in new timeslot of 4-6.30pm.
ABC Radio Perth also welcomes a new team to Saturday morning, with ABC producer and journalist Jamie Burnett and Charlotte Hamlyn from the ABC Perth newsroom joining forces to co-present the station’s weekend kick starter from 6am-10am. Popular gardening talkback segment Roots and Shoots with Sabrina Hahn remains at 9am Saturdays.
