Nova 919’s New Breakfast Show Jodie & Hayesy

NOVA Entertainment announced popular broadcaster Jodie Oddy and sports journalist Andrew Hayes as Nova 919’s new breakfast show. Jodie & Hayesy will launch in January 2023.

One of Adelaide’s most experienced and loved radio announcers, most recently Jodie Oddy has been heard as host of The Jodie Oddy Show on Nova 919. Oddy spent 13 years as host of the #1 FM breakfast show on Mix and has been a freelance presenter and journalist for Network 10 for over 20 years. In August 2021 she joined the Nova Network, making her return to radio as host of Nova 919’s Saturday breakfast show and has been a regular Friday contributor to the Ben & Liam breakfast show.

Andrew Hayes, four-time SANFL Central Districts premiership player, has made the seamless transition from footballer to media personality. Hayes has made a name for himself as a sports reporter for Channel Seven news and reporter for the SA Weekender lifestyle show. Most recently Hayes has co-hosted SEN’s breakfast show alongside Kane Cornes, since December 2018.

Whilst Ben, Liam & Belle have recently been announced as Nova 100’s new breakfast show in Melbourne, the trio have endeared themselves to audiences over the past couple of years and will retain a local show in Adelaide. Ben, Liam & Belle will kick of listeners’ mornings from 6am handing over to Jodie & Hayesy at 7am.

Ben Latimer, Head of Programming for the Nova Network said, “Jodie and Hayesy are two much-loved and high-profile South Australian personalities, and we can’t wait to bring them to Nova 919’s breakfast show. Jodie, an exceptional broadcaster, and Hayesy, an accomplished sports reporter and announcer, know what is important to Adelaideans so will deliver a live and local show, with lots of listener interaction, every morning. The combination of Ben, Liam & Belle followed by Jodie & Hayesy will be a morning listen with a real difference for audiences in 2023.”

Jodie Oddy said, “I’ve loved being part of the Nova family for the last two years, so to step into the breakfast hot seat is an absolute dream, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner in crime than Hayesy. Ben, Liam & Belle have become a staple listen in Adelaide, so we hope their wonderful audience will take us to their hearts and Nova 919 continues to have South Australia’s go-to breakfast show.”

No stranger to the NOVA Entertainment, Hayes started his radio career as a Casanova on Nova 919’s street team and was a roving reporter for Nova 919’s Lewis & Lowe.

Hayesy said, “I loved my time at Nova and have always been so grateful to the station for kicking off my radio career.  I’m beyond excited to return where it all began and team up with Jodie. She’s an absolute professional and someone that I’ve always admired so I can’t want to get stuck in and hang out with Adelaide over their morning coffee.”

Ben, Liam & Belle early breakfast show will be heard from 6am-7am followed by Jodie & Hayesy from 7am-9am on Nova 919 and on the Nova Player from January 2023.
