Hit Network’s Head of Content Gemma Fordham said: “I am thrilled Grant will be joining the Sydney breakfast show. He is one of the country’s most energetic personalities and was a dynamo on breakfast TV and reshaped the landscape. When it comes to entertaining Aussies his instincts are spot on and I know he is the perfect addition to brighten up Sydney’s morning alongside Em and Ed.”
Em Rusciano said: “I’m delighted to have the blonde bombshell, glamorous bogan and Australia’s best friend, Grant Denyer, join our show”
Ed Kavalee said: “Grant is a fantastic talent and broadcaster. He’s one of the biggest names in Australian showbiz (that’s not a short joke). We have a brand new microphone and booster seat ready to go (that was a short joke).”
On joining the show, Grant Denyer said: “I’m told breakfast radio is even more dangerous than race car driving and I fractured my bum and almost died doing that this year… So, what could go wrong! I won’t need the booster seat Ed because it’s in my contract I get to sit on your knee. PS. I’ve already got dibs on driving our Mardi Gras float. Their lap times are ridiculous “
2DayFM breakfast with Em, Grant and Ed will be on air from January 15.
