For nearly 23 years, Fresh 92.7 has been the first step in the careers of some of the brightest and most talented South Australians in the country.
Ben & Liam, Lehmo and Sam Mac along with countless other announcers, reporters and producers working across Australia – all got their start in the Fresh studios.
Today Fresh 92.7 announces the departure of its Breakfast hosts, Mark Thomas and Laura O’Callaghan, known to listeners as Loz & Thomo.
Loz & Thomo have hosted Brekky on Fresh 92.7 for over three years, making them the stations longest full-time Breakfast show with over 700 shows broadcast.
The duo have accomplished some significant feats over that time, jumping into freezing cold water for charity, sending a lucky listener to Denmark, and supporting South Australia’s small business community through the Give A Little Love and Get Behind A Business initiatives.
Importantly, Loz & Thomo fearlessly continued broadcasting through the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. At a time where we could not physically see one another, Brekky with Loz & Thomo provided a space for South Australians to laugh, connect, and stay informed.
The unique, anything-goes dynamic of the show has proven a hit with listeners, propelling Fresh 92.7 to its highest Breakfast listenership yet.
Of her departure, Loz says, “Hosting this Brekky show has been a truly incredible experience. It’s been so much fun, and we’ve loved every moment we’ve shared with the listeners. You’ve played our games with us, you’ve told us some amazing stories on-air, and you’ve followed us down some deeply strange tangents.”
Thomo says, “This was our first proper radio gig, and I’m sure it will go down as one of the greatest jobs we’ve ever had. It’s been an absolute ball, but the time has finally come for us to move onto a new opportunity.”
Content Manager, Zane Dean, says “Working with Loz & Thomo has been nothing short of incredible. I never laugh more than when I’m helping produce this show, and I remain consistently impressed with their wit, chemistry, and work ethic.
“They have such a deep respect and dedication to Fresh, the amazing volunteers who help create the show, and the amazing community of listeners. Everyone ‘flies the nest’ of Fresh eventually, but these two will leave a truly astonishing legacy behind them.”
Brekky with Loz & Thomo will broadcast their last show on March 26 with news of a new Breakfast team to be revealed soon.
