Wood said of his appointment: “I feel incredibly excited and grateful to come home to Melbourne and become the newest member of the Fox family! From listening in my bedroom, hassling Tracy & Matt and Barry Bissell for requests, to community radio in Melton where I tried to emulate that famous Fox magic, my lifelong dream has just come true. In my role I look forward to joining our team and building on our unmatched dedication to our city, Melbourne – the greatest city in the world!”
Prendergast added: “I’m truly beyond thrilled to be joining Melbourne’s very-own Fox FM and the Fifi, Fev & Nick team. The show is world-class and I’m beyond excited to work with the team to continue building on the incredible radio they produce on a daily basis. I’m chomping at the bit to get stuck into it and officially become a member of the iconic Fox family.”
Allen said: “I’m super keen to be starting in this exciting role and I can’t wait to meet everyone once I’ve made the leap across the Bass Strait!”
All appointments are effective immediately.
