Ash London, Isaac “Issie” Smith and Elliot Garnaut are set to wake up with Melbourne as hosts of KIIS Breakfast with Ash, Issie & Elliot, launching on KIIS 1011 from Monday October 26.
Michael Stephenson, ARN CEO, said: “Following last week’s announcement of Chris, Amy & Jack in Sydney, we’re excited to complete the new KIIS Breakfast line-up with the reveal of Ash, Issie & Elliot in Melbourne. We’ve brought together big stars, fresh new talent and distinctive local voices to create shows that reflect the character and energy of their cities.”
“Breakfast remains one of the most important parts of the day for our audiences and advertisers. These new teams give us a powerful platform to create compelling content across radio, video, social, and live experiences, while continuing to grow the KIIS brand in Australia’s largest markets.”
ARN Chief Content Officer Kerri Elstub added: “Melbourne is a city that lives and breathes culture, sport, entertainment and conversation, and this show has been built with exactly that in mind. Ash, Issie & Elliot are a brilliant combination of talent with genuine local connection, and we believe they have all the ingredients to create something special for Melbourne listeners every morning.”
Ash London is a hugely successful broadcaster, podcaster and author.
Ash London said: “When I was nine years old, I made my radio debut on 101.1 TT-FM when I rang up and requested the Macarena. To be hosting breakfast radio on that same station in my hometown 30 years later is an absolute dream and doing it alongside these two gorgeous humans is the cherry on top.”
Isaac Smith is a four-time AFL premiership player and Norm Smith Medallist.
Isaac Smith said: “I feel very lucky to be joining the KIIS Melbourne team with Ash and Elliot. Ash is an absolute professional and I can’t wait to learn from her. Elliot and I have worked together for the past year and have had so much fun talking about everything from college football to my poor fashion choices. I can’t wait to build our own community within this great city.”
Elliot Garnaut is one of Australia’s leading fashion stylists, as well as a fashion commentator and podcaster.
Elliot Garnaut said: “I couldn’t be more excited to be joining Ash and Issie on KIIS Melbourne Breakfast and taking on what is the opportunity of a lifetime. Melbourne is the greatest city in the world, and I can’t wait for the three of us to wake her up every morning with plenty of laughs, chaos and of course a few surprises along the way.”
Ash, Issie and Elliot will be joined each morning by Georgia Love, who steps into the role of newsreader for KIIS Breakfast.
KIIS Breakfast with Ash, Issie & Elliot can be heard on KIIS 1011 from 6am-10am weekdays, or via ARN’s free iHeart app, starting from Monday 26 October.
