After three years hosting Triple M Southwest Breakfast with Angie in Bunbury, Angie Ayers is joining 92.9 Triple M Perth as Workday announcer and Content Assistant. Replacing Ayers is Michael Ross, who currently hosts the remote breakfast program for Triple M WA.
One of Radio Today’s Top New Talent to Watch and 30 Under 30 in 2022 Ross previously hosted Late Nights on Perth’s Hit 92.9 and breakfast on Hit Limestone Coast in Mount Gambier.
92.9 Triple M Content Director, Tim Arnold said:
“At Triple M Southwest Angie is known as the ‘Queen of Localism’ and has, in just a couple of years in the Southwest, become one of its biggest ambassadors. Angie spent a couple of weeks with us in Perth earlier in the year filling in and did such a fantastic job and we are delighted that she is now joining us as our Workday announcer. She will be an excellent replacement for the ‘Wise Sage of Music’ that is Westo.”
Ayers said:
“It has been my biggest challenge and biggest privilege to wake up the listeners of Triple M Southwest. I can’t believe some of the stuff we pulled off like ‘Operation Scuba’ where we combined scuba diving and radio at 18 metres deep on a shipwreck; it was as complicated as it sounds but we had the right and unique team to do it.
Doing our part to launch LiSTNR at a local level was so great to be a part of but my favourite moments are the small ones, laughs around the office, brainstorms, problem solving, people calling into the show to share their stories and love of the Southwest and Simon’s staff meeting slideshows. This is the longest house and location I have lived in since I was 19 and I have never taken one day of it for granted. Thank you for having me but it is time for this gypsy soul to move again.”
Ross said of his new role:
“I’m really excited to step into Southwest breaky, the team here are fantastic and I can’t wait to work with Erica on what will be a huge new chapter for myself and the station. I don’t think anyone could fill the shoes Angie leaves behind, because they’re so big, they’re flippers, and diving is more her thing. I’m also looking forward to the shortest geographical move for a job, about three metres.”
Ayers’ last day on Triple M Southwest is 6 October, joining Triple M Perth on the 30th of October. Michael for Breakfast starts on Triple M Southwest on October 9.
