After 28 years with Geelong Broadcasters, bay 93.9’s much loved Breakfast host and Content Director Mark Hyland has announced that he’s hanging up the headphones.

Hyland has made the decision to enjoy a sleep in, focus on his surfing technique and spend time with family.

He thanked the bay 93.9 listeners who’ve been a huge part of his life for the last three decades:

“It’s time for me to take a break from the early starts, and while I’ll miss the bay 93.9 team, our listeners, and our clients, I’ll still be around and may venture out of Ocean Grove from time to time and pop up on bay 93.9”

Breakfast co-host Lisa ‘Milly’ Millard said:

“I will miss Hylo enormously, particularly the Dad jokes and the laughs each morning, but I know this is the right move for him and I am fully supportive of, albeit sad about, his decision.”

Geelong Broadcasters General Manager Rachel Patterson said:

“We will miss Mark terribly and will farewell him in the appropriate way in the coming weeks. We look forward to the next phase of the bay 93.9 Breakfast Show (which we’re presently working on) and will reveal when we’re able.”

Hyland’s final breakfast show on bay 93.9 will be on Friday May 3.
