Nova 100 announces new breakfast line-up

Nova 100 this morning announced Tommy Little and Meshel Laurie as the new hosts of Nova Melbourne’s breakfast show in 2014.

Tommy is no stranger to Nova 100 with his weekend breakfast show heard every Saturday morning and covering for the breakfast team during the survey breaks. He is one of the most talked about stand-up comedians and currently has two shows running concurrently on television.

Tommy said: “Meshel Laurie is one of the funniest people in the country and sure I already love making funny TV with her so radio will be exactly the same, except hopefully I will be wearing less makeup.”

Tommy will be partnered with Meshel Laurie, Nova’s national Drive show announcer and former Brisbane breakfast radio host.

Meshel said: “I have a lot to learn from Tommy Little, mainly about Snapchat, herbal tea and girls. I look forward to the process.”

Meshel launched Nova 106.9’s breakfast show in 2005 and the team quickly became the No 1 FM breakfast show in Brisbane; in September 2011 the team moved to host Nova’s national drive show, again a show that became No 1.

Meshel and Tommy have also built a strong rapport as co-hosts of the topical weekly chat show This Week Live.

Mike Cass, DMG Radio’s Assistant Group Program Director said: “2014 will be an exciting year for breakfast radio in Melbourne and I’m massively excited that we’ve got Tommy & Meshel leading that charge. With one of the nation’s hottest comedians and one of the funniest and most accomplished broadcasters in the business, Nova 100’s breakfast listeners are in good hands.”

Tommy Little and Meshel Laurie will be heard in breakfast on Nova 100 from January 2014, replacing Hughesy and Kate.
