On Monday, 2CA Canberra’s Breakfast Show will become a duo with Jen Seyderhelm sharing the mic with Paul Holmes.
Actually, it’s such a momentus occasion that 2CA’s owners have sprung for another mic, just for Jen.
Holmesy’s been doing the Brekky on 2CA on his ownsome since he joined the station in 2018.
“Jen and I have talked about working together for a long time and at last it’s happening! Plus she knows more about most things than I do,” says Holmesy.
“Holmesy and I are great mates. I can’t wait to wake up every morning as part of a station I love, with a team of not just colleagues but friends, and connecting with the people of the
Capital and surrounds through fun, music and real local radio,” says Jen.
Group Program Director for the Capital Radio Network Pete Davidson said “It’s a no-brainer to pair up Holmsey and Jen for breakfast. Their connection and chemistry will be a vibrant way for Canberra to wake up. This isn’t the same tired old FM breakfast radio formula. It’s real local radio with real local personalities. At the very least Jen will wake up Holmsey, he needs it.”
The Classic Breakfast with Holmsey & Jen starts Monday April 19 at 5.30am on Forever Classic 2CA.
