For the first time in the network’s history, Triple M is giving everyday Australians a chance to host a national Breakfast show. This December, five brand-new Breakfast shows will go to air nationally for Pilot Week, a bold new initiative giving fresh voices a shot at the big time on Australia’s most iconic radio networks.
Beginning Monday, 15 December, Pilot Week is a national radio first: a week-long showcase of emerging Breakfast radio talent, with each new show having a chance to become the next staple of the Triple M lineup.
Entries will be reviewed over the coming weeks and narrowed down to a Top 10. From there, five final shows will be selected to broadcast nationally on Triple M from 6–8am, during Pilot Week, Monday December 15 to Friday December 19.
Triple M has a long history of discovering and developing some of Australia’s most loved broadcasters. The network’s Pilot Week search follows the runaway success of Lu & Jarch (Luisa Dal Din and Jack Archdale), who have captured more than 934,000 listeners nationally and driven more than 50 million social media views. Lu & Jarch’s cross-platform success proves that fresh, authentic, personality-led content can cut through in a competitive radio landscape.
Matthew O’Reilly, SCA Head of Broadcast Content, said: “Triple M has always been about big personalities, creating world-class content, think Andrew Denton, The Cage and The Hot Breakfast just to name a few. Pilot Week opens the door for fresh voices to jump behind the mic and have an opportunity for an exciting career in radio.
“The audio industry is booming, and there’s incredible creative energy across the country, from podcasters and comics to online storytellers. Triple M’s Pilot Week is the perfect opportunity for anyone who’s ever listened to Mick Molloy, James Brayshaw or Beau Ryan and thought, “I reckon I could do that!” O’Reilly concluded.
The five Pilot Week shows broadcast nationally across Triple M and stream on LiSTNR. Applications open Friday October 31 and close on Friday, 15 November. To apply or submit a demo, visit: triplem.com.au/pilotweek.
