JONO AND BEN TO JOIN SHARYN CASEY ON THE EDGE AFTERNOONS
Ben Boyce said: “Jono has been at The Rock so long he didn’t realise there were other radio stations.“
Jono Pryor said: “We sailed a bouncy castle across lake Taupo, a banana boat across Cook Strait and sold our souls on cans of energy drinks at The Rock. I can’t wait to see what shameless radio promotions lie ahead at The Edge with Sharyn.”
Sharyn Casey said: “I’m looking forward to Jono and Ben ditching the Metallica t-s hirts and letting their Taylor Swift flag fly high!”
“I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved with Guy & Clint but Jono and Ben might be able to get me a good deal on a Holden, so ya know, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.”
After its exceptionally strong recent survey, gaining more *listeners than any other network, The Rock sees Thane Kirby become its new drive time co-host, alongside Duncan Heyde (both pictured left), replacing Jono & Ben.The Morning Rumble will welcome back Andrew Mulligan after three years, replacing Tom Furniss who is moving overseas.
Thane Kirby said: “This is the best decision The Rock has made in years. I’m trading in my vodka lime ‘n sodas for bourbon and coke and making the leap beyond Ponsonby! I’m stoked to be part of an award winning radio station and will dedicate the remainder of my brain cells to hanging out on-air with like minded blokes across the country.”
Andrew Mulligan said: “It’s so great to be back among old friends and to be an integral part of The Morning Rumble. I’m pumped to be part of an award-winning show again!”
Current Edge Afternoons co-host Clint Roberts will join New Zealand’s most popular electronic music station George FM as part of a refreshed George FM Breakfast.
