For a qualified electrical engineer, Dan Anstey makes a pretty fantastic radio host, which is excellent news for Triple M Brisbane breakfast fans as he is there to stay! After joining Greg ‘Marto’ Martin and Margaux Parker in May last year from 90.9 Sea FM, this year his name is on the billboards!

Brisbane will wake up to Marto, Margaux and Dan on Triple M every weekday morning from 5.30am!

Before returning to Brisbane with his young family, Anstey co-hosted Sea FM 90.9’s Breakfast on the Gold Coast with Bianca Dye and Ben Hannant for six years and prior to that, held on-air roles with The Fox in Melbourne and he’s a regular on TV screens nationally.

Triple M Brisbane Content Director, Jamie Angel said Anstey joining Breakfast was a no brainer.

“Back in April and May, we searched the whole country to find the perfect Triple M Brisbane Breakfast anchor and it turned out he was sitting just down the road on the Goldie the whole time,” he said. “Dan’s dynamic, funny and a wonderful human being. He’s already worked on some of the Australia’s most successful radio shows, and from the moment he walked into the Brisbane studio with Marto and Margaux, it was the perfect fit.”

Anstey said after six spectacular years on Gold Coast breakfast radio, he was thrilled to return home to Brisbane.

“I spent some of the best years of my life in Brisbane. Mainly in the beer garden of the RE watching the mighty Lions, Broncos and Maroons, when I probably should have been studying! I honestly couldn’t have been happier to be return home after a decade, with my wife and two kids in tow. Standing atop Kangaroo Point to show them the sprawling beauty of the great brown snake was truly a life goal achieved,” he said.

Anstey, his wife Clare and their two young children Halle and Augie now live in Tenerife while they look to buy. He said the highlight of the past few months at Triple M Brisbane was the “Plugga Cup”, the world’s richest open toe foot race. “So, watch out for this event in 2023, we’re going to supercharge it. Possibly literally.”
