Ahead of the Melbourne footy season, Mason Cox has been announced as a regular AFL contributor for KIIS 101.1’s Jase & Lauren.
Appearing live on air every Thursday morning, Cox will be bringing his insight from inside the Collingwood Magpies camp and beyond, touching on the latest news in the world of AFL.
Cox has previously appeared on the show a number of times over the past year, with him even blowing a KIIS after kicking a goal in the final game of the 2022 season, which lead to the station donating $2,000 to Ladder, the official charity of the AFL Players.
Mason Cox joins fellow footballer and current AFL contributor of the show, Christian Petracca, who will continue to take the lead Monday mornings, as well as the show’s full-time news and sports presenter, Clint Stanway.
Of the announcement, Mason Cox said, “I couldn’t be more pumped to be expanding my role with ARN and joining the Jase & Lauren family this year!
“Off the field, I’ve always been passionate about the media space, so I’m excited to jump in-studio with the crew every week and talk all things footy and life. Clint and I will have some great footy banter each week, I’m sure!”
The news follows the announcement that the AFL star’s podcast The Mason Cox Show has joined ARN’s iHeartPodcast Network.
Last month, Jase and Lauren were found after playing their Hide & Seek game for 32 hours, 21 minutes and 5 seconds. The duo were hiding at the Brighton Town Hall and were found by Essendon school teacher and mother, Bridie.
Due to popular demand, the city-wide game of Hide & Seek will be returning.
From any moment over the coming weeks, the duo could run away yet again to go into hiding somewhere in Melbourne with $50,000 awaiting the first listener to find them.
Mason Cox can now be heard every Thursday morning on KIIS 101.1’s Jase & Lauren or via the free iHeart app.
