SCA has confirmed the return of drive duo Hamish and Andy in 2017.

"It's completely business as usual for us with Hamish & Andy continuing on in drive in 2017. Absolutely no change," says an SCA spokesperson.

"They were never not going to not continue under their rolling agreement with SCA."

The pair were lured back to a Monday to Friday shift, after a scaling back their radio commitments in 2010, with a reported $4 million dollar salary each.

Triple M is to expand next year as thirty of SCA's regional stations currently under the LocalWorks network will be "brought into the Triple M family."

That's according to the company's 2016 Annual Report which radioinfo saw earlier today.

According to the report, the move will "... deliver cohesive impact and greater overall brand value".

The new site will see Scoopla.com expand its editorial offering beyond its celebrity and pop culture origins to include new verticals across Food, Tech and Travel - categories that the entertainment platform's female audience are highly engaged with.  

Scoopla creates original content daily and by plugging into SCA's Hit Network on-air, talent and social assets is able to offer an enhanced entertainment experience for its fans via strengthened editorial, video and audio.
 

From RnB Bangerz to Australia’s new God of Love, The Hit Network will deliver a new weekend line-up across the country from Friday September 9.
