Dan Anstey has been officially added to the Triple M Brisbane breakfast show which will now be known as Marto, Margaux and Dan.
After joining Greg ‘Marto’ Martin and Margaux Parker in May last year from 90.9 Sea FM, this year his name is on the billboards.
Before returning to Brisbane with his young family, Anstey co-hosted Sea FM 90.9’s Breakfast on the Gold Coast with Bianca Dye and Ben Hannant for six years and prior to that, held on-air roles with The Fox in Melbourne and he’s a regular on TV screens nationally.
Triple M Brisbane Content Director, Jamie Angel says Anstey joining Breakfast was a no brainer.
He says, “Back in April and May, we searched the whole country to find the perfect Triple M Brisbane Breakfast anchor and it turned out he was sitting just down the road on the Goldie the whole time.
“Dan’s dynamic, funny and a wonderful human being. He’s already worked on some of the Australia’s most successful radio shows, and from the moment he walked into the Brisbane studio with Marto and Margaux, it was the perfect fit.”
Anstey says after six spectacular years on Gold Coast breakfast radio, he was thrilled to return home to Brisbane, “I spent some of the best years of my life in Brisbane. Mainly in the beer garden of the RE watching the mighty Lions, Broncos and Maroons, when I probably should have been studying!
“I honestly couldn’t have been happier to be return home after a decade, with my wife and two kids in tow. Standing atop Kangaroo Point to show them the sprawling beauty of the great brown snake was truly a life goal achieved.
Cornelius (Con) Mendez has joined the Triple M Brisbane family as Executive Producer of Rush Hour with Leisel, Liam and Dobbo.
Jamie Angel says Con is a terrific addition to the team, having worked at BBC 1 and 2, and at XFM and talkRADIO in the UK, and more recently as the breakfast producer at 4BC.
He says, “Con comes complete with some hardware for the mantelpiece, having won comedy.co.uk’s Best Radio Entertainment Show award for You’re Dead To Me, as well as twice winning the UK Radio Academy’s 30 and Under title (2016 and 2018).”
Triple M’s Rush Hour with Leisel, Liam and Dobbo is back today on 104.5 Triple M Brisbane and 92.5 Triple M Gold Coast from 4pm to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
