Brisbane's Nova 106.9 celebrated turning 12 this week with both a sugar and a staff "smack-down".
 
The Nova foyer was transformed into party central and diets were ruined courtesy of a cupcake and lollie buffet, but the main feature of the birthday celebrations was the staff piñata challenge.
 
Everyone at Nova Brisbane is part of a house team, and the teams compete all year for points - like those Harry Potter kids at Hogwarts.
 

NOVA Entertainment has launched Podquest, an initiative designed to discover and support new and emerging podcasters.

Taking on Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop The Feeling', the Nine News team join Jharal Yow Yeh hilarious lip syncing of the classic Whitney Houston song - 'I'm Every Woman' and Sam Thaiday and his wife Rachel's take on Warren G featuring Nate Dogg's 'Regulate'. 

Nova 106.9 will welcome Tim Wong-See to the mic in the afternoon slot in 2016. 
 
The innovative announcer was most recently heard in late nights on the Nova Network based out of the Sydney Nova studios. 
 
General Manager and Program Director, Jay Walkerden, said he is looking forward to Tim bringing his unique style to afternoons.
 
“Tim is the perfect fit for the Nova Brisbane family as he’s a little bit loose and a whole lot of fun.  
 

Jay Walkerden has been appointed General Manager of Nova 106.9 in Brisbane. He has been acting in the role since Sean Ryan left last year.

With over 20 years radio experience, Walkerdon joined NOVA Entertainment in July 2011 as Nova 106.9 Program Director and in July 2014 took on the additional responsibility of acting General Manager for the Brisbane station.
