SCA is set for a huge 2026, with the Hit and Triple M networks maintaining a strong and stable lineup, showcasing the company’s strength, consistency, and unwavering commitment to live and local content.
The Hit and Triple M networks will continue to deliver locally produced metro Breakfast shows, the most of any broadcast network, alongside tailored AFL and NRL Rush Hour drive shows on Triple M, providing the sports coverage fans expect. Familiar personalities and emerging stars will continue to entertain and engage audiences, while delivering market-leading, brand-safe programming. With trusted voices, new talent, and locally focused content, SCA continues to lead Australia’s audio landscape, delivering compelling content alongside strong audience and client engagement and integration in 2026.
Matthew O’Reilly, SCA’s Head of Broadcast Content said: “Audio remains a compelling offering because it’s personal, immediate and connected to people’s daily lives. Live and local announcers and content is at the core, what sets radio apart, wherever or however they consume content, whether in car, streaming on their phones, or engaging with us via social media and podcasts. While 2026 is shaping up to be a year of change across the industry, SCA enters the year with a stable, proven lineup, with an ongoing investment in compelling live, local lineups, and developing new talent that demonstrate a commitment to the future of the industry, and to ensuring our shows continue to cut through with content that genuinely resonates.”
