ARN has announced that Kate Meade has been appointed to the role of executive producer for Mix 102.3’s The Ali Clarke Breakfast Show.
Meade is no stranger to ARN, having spent the past 12 months in the role of senior producer with Jonesy & Amanda at WSFM Sydney.
Prior to that she was the Network Breakfast host and producer with ACE Radio Network. Meade is also the host of the Women of Influence podcast with ARN’s iHeart.
ARN chief content officer Duncan Campbell said of Meade’s appointment: “I’m thrilled to have Kate join the Adelaide team, bringing a wealth of experience and skill around content creation across all our platforms for Mix 102.3.
“Kate brings an energy, positivity and can-do attitude to everything she does, and I’m looking forward to a huge year ahead,” he added.
Host Ali Clarke welcomed Meade’s appointment and said: “Our whole team is so excited to have someone with Kate’s experience and knowledge on board ahead of an exciting 2023. Kate really gets what we are all about and I look forward to welcoming her with open arms!”
Meade said of her new role: “I am absolutely stoked to be joining Ali and the team in Adelaide. Ali has an unstoppable energy and passion for everything Adelaide. This will be the team to watch in 2023.”
During her career, Meade has won a number of industry awards, including Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) as both a radio host and producer, and highlights such as Australian Financial Review’s 100 Women of Influence.
Meade is also the founder and creator of The Victorian Dance Festival – a recipient of the Best Arts and Cultural Event in Victoria for the Australian Industry Events Awards.
Meade starts her new role as executive producer on December 12. Clarke and the rest of the on-air team – Shane Lowe, Eddie Bannon, Maria Gaban and the recently announced Max Burford – return to air in January 2023.
