Brad March’s independent talent management company, Marchmedia, has announced that producer-turned-broadcaster, Belle Jackson, has joined its roster of stars of radio, television, podcasting and digital media.
A future star of breakfast radio in Melbourne, last week Jackson was named co-host of an all-new Nova 100 breakfast show alongside Ben Harvey and Liam Stapleton. The trio will together relocate to Melbourne next month to replace longtime hosts Chrissie, Sam & Browny.
Jackson first worked alongside Ben and Liam as a producer at triple j and then as a senior producer at Nova 919 in Adelaide, where they are the market’s current No.1 FM breakfast show.
Studying Screen & Media at the Swinburne University of Technology, she joined SYN at age 16. SYN FM has been a launchpad for many of TV and radio’s top broadcasters, including comedy duo Hamish & Andy, Jack Post, Tommy Little, and Zan Rowe.
Jackson’s commercial radio career began at Southern Cross Austereo in 2014 as a producer for Tom & Olly at Triple M and Fifi & Dave at Fox FM, before joining the Ben & Liam show at triple j where they achieved some of the national station’s best radio ratings in its 40-year history.
Belle Jackson said: “I didn’t think twice when it came to signing with Marchmedia. I’ve watched the fantastic work that Brad has been doing with Ben and Liam over the past few years, so of course, when the opportunity arose, I was stoked to sign with him and the team!
“I can’t wait to return to Melbourne after five long but incredible years away and, while coming back home is exciting, to be doing it on-air alongside Ben and Liam is a dream come true. I have loved every minute of ‘looking after’ the boys as their producer. I can’t wait to step into this new role with them and teach them a thing or two about my hometown.”
Brad March said: “Belle has been a rising star for some time now. I’m delighted to welcome her to the Marchmedia stable as she begins this exciting new chapter of her career. Watching Belle’s growth since her triple J days, and over the past five years, has been such a joy — her experience as both a producer and broadcaster makes her a formidable force.”
Ben, Liam & Belle will continue to have a presence in Adelaide, hosting a local early breakfast show from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., in addition to their new Melbourne show.
