Nova 96.9 in Sydney has re-confirmed it’s line up for 2014 – which sees it in the unexpected position of having the “heritage” breakfast show  for the under 40’s.

It will be very interesting to see what, if any impact the expected “war” between the new 2day Fm breakfast show and the soon-to-be-launched Kiis 106.5 with Kyle & Jackie O, has on Nova Sydney’s numbers. 

Fitzy and Wippa are back for breakfast on Nova 96.9 from 6am till 9am weekdays. They will also be hosting a “highlights” show heard across the Nova network nationally from 6pm daily.

Rabbit has returned to host mornings from 9am, with Harlee McLeod on air from 12 noon.

Now that Meshel Laurie has moved to co-host Breakfast on Nova 100 in Melbourne, Tim Blackwell and Marty Sheargold are joined on the national Drive Show by Kate Richie.  Richie is no stranger to Nova listeners, having been a regular fill-in recently, as well as being a part of the Nova 96.9 breakfast show in 2008 and 2009.

A dual TV Week Gold Logie Award winning actress, she became a household name as Sally Fletcher in the Seven Network’s Home and Away. Departing the series in 2007 after 20 years, she played Judi Kane in Underbelly: A Tale Of Two Cities, which earned her an AFI nomination, and most recently appeared in Peter Helliar’s It’s A Date on ABC1.

Smallzy’s Surgery is back for Nova nights from 7pm, with Ben Wood returning to late nights from 10pm to 1am week nights on Nova around the country.
