Grant Kereama is the new host of Coast’s Drive show, switching roles with Jon Dunstan, with the legendary NZ broadcaster bringing his signature warmth and feel good 80s tunes to listeners across the country.

Kereama’s first role was on the ZM Night Show before joining the top-rating ZM Morning Crew throughout the 90s and 2000s. He has tv and film roles and was the Lotto host.

David Brice, Coast Content Director said:

“We’re so pleased to have Grant join us fulltime as our Drive show host. Grant’s deep passion for music, his incredible knowledge of the 80s era and his genuine connection with audiences make him the perfect fit for Coast Drive. He joins our stellar line-up of Toni Street, Jason Reeves and Sam Wallace on Breakfast, Lorna Riley on Days, Jason Tikao on Nights and Jon Dunstan on weekends – together they create the complete Feel Good 80s experience for our listeners.”

Dunstan was the Drive host and has switched to Kereama’s weekend role.

Kereama said:

“I feel honoured to have the opportunity to work in this wonderful industry, and on a station that is so very close to my heart. Coast covers an era that was so influential to me. The 1980s. It’s where I started this radio caper. And to be able to work with such a wonderful bunch of talented people is such a privilege.”

Coast Drive with Grant Kereama airs weekdays from 3pm to 7pm on Coast frequencies nationwide and via iHeartRadio.
