Gavin Miller GOLD FM Melbourne– What a shame to see Gavin is hanging up his headphones at the end of his career.

Tim Lee 1019 The Fox Melbourne– Tim is one of the best in the busy, delivering a high energy shift day after day, with so much crammed into every break you can’t turn off, from callers to homemade intros, it’s Tim’s hard work that pays off.
Chris “Buzz” Bezzina- Nova 1069 Brisbane– Formerly the voice of reason with Carry and Tommy, Buzz gives off a great local vibe. Always plenty of callers, and just so casual in his delivery.
