Marty Sheargold and Triple M today confirmed that Sheargold has decided to step down from the 105.1 Triple M Melbourne Breakfast shift, however he remains an important member of the Triple M and LiSTNR family. Sheargold has scaled back from the Breakfast shift, as he continues to balance his many commitments including his stand-up comedy and appearing on some of Australia’s favourite TV programs including the up-coming new season of critically acclaimed Fisk.
Reflecting on his decision, Sheargold said: “Taking an extended break at the end of last year has reinforced the importance of spending more quality time with my family. As a result, I have made the decision to prioritise self-care, maintaining a better work/life balance and will not be returning to my Triple M Breakfast show.
“However, I will continue The Marty Sheargold Show podcast, along with the 3-4pm national Triple M show. I want to thank my immediate team and the network for their ongoing support and understanding. And I’d also like to thank the listeners for their loyalty to both the show and the station. Like them, I remain a Triple M fan.”
SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron, said: “SCA supports Marty’s decision to rebalance his personal and work commitments, and we’d like to thank Marty and his team for creating a unique and hilarious Breakfast show for Melbourne since 2021. It is exciting however that our listeners will continue to hear Marty alongside his current team of Troy Ellis, Loren Barry and Will Ralston across both the Triple M network as a national Afternoon radio show and on his fan-favourite daily podcast on LiSTNR, which regularly ranks prominently on the Australian Podcast Ranker.”
The Marty Sheargold Show will continue to be heard around the country, Monday to Friday from 3-4pm on the Triple M network from mid-July, and on LiSTNR as a daily podcast.
Details of the new 105.1 Triple M Melbourne Breakfast show will be announced in due course.
