102.3 Triple M Townsville is launching a new Breakfast show, the CK & Kate Breakfast Show, set to wake up North Queensland from Monday, 8 June. 

It will bring together two familiar North Queensland voices – Cliff ‘CK’ Kern and Kate Jeboult. Born and raised in Townsville, CK joined 102.3 Triple M Townsville in 2021 and has become a familiar voice across the region through his work on radio, as well as his role as ground announcer alongside Kate for the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys. He’s no stranger to Breakfast listeners, having stepped in to co-host the show for several weeks during Cliffo’s long-service leave last year. 

CK joins Kate Jeboult, who has co-hosted Townsville’s top-rating Breakfast show alongside Cliffo since joining 102.3 Triple M in January 2024. Since moving to Townsville in 2017, Kate has firmly embedded herself in the local community. In 2019 she founded the news platform Townsville Scoop, a place for locals to discover what’s happening in their hometowns, which has reached more than 1.1 million people.
