The Hit Network today confirmed its national 2020 line-up with Carrie Bickmore a confirmed starter, and Kate Langbroek replaced by Ed Kavalee
After filling in for Kate Langbroek in the second half of 2019, Ed Kavalee will join Hughesy permanently in 2020 from 5.00pm-7.00pm weekdays.
Kate has extended her stay in Italy with her young family for another year and will continue to be a regular part of the show as she has been this year.
Ash London, will return in 2020 with her national show, Ash London Live, hot on the heels of hosting this year’s epic RNB Fridays Live stadium tours. Ash London Live has been extended for an extra hour from 7.00pm-9.00pm.
Danny Lakey plays on with his irreverent and hilarious Danny Lakey Late Show between 9.00pm-12.00am and the late night owls are well looked after from midnight through to 3.00am with charismatic duo and pals, Tom & Olly, also part of the 2020 Hit Network line-up.
The lively Those Two Girls will return to the early morning breakfast slot from 5.00am-6.00am
Head of the Hit Network, Gemma Fordham, said: “We are really proud of our national line up. We are unashamedly committed to talent who are connected to our tribes and communities. We feel fortunate that every team is so full of life and delivers radio entertainment that gives our listeners a boost across their day and makes them feel included and up to date with everything that is important to them and their families.
“I’m excited Ed Kavalee is a permanent addition to Drive in 2020 as he and Hughesy have a history and chemistry that is a joy to listen to. We are all obsessed with Kate’s Italian adventure and are living vicariously through her! She will continue to keep us updated via the phone across the year.
Our Drive double act of Carrie and Tommy and Hughesy and Ed is a sensational offering.”
