Ploog is an accomplished producer with senior experience across ARN, SCA, Nova Entertainment, and Network 10, bringing extensive expertise from some of Australia’s most high-profile and fast-paced programs. Most recently, Ploog was Entertainment Producer and Guest Booker for The Kyle & Jackie O Show, and previously held the role of Guest and Entertainment Producer on Network 10’s The Project.
Kirsten also has deep experience across music, entertainment, and radio, having held senior roles as Music Director and Brand & Promotions Manager at SCA Perth, Senior Implementation Executive at NOVA Entertainment, and Marketing Specialist at Virgin.
Kirsten Ploog said: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining a show with such a strong sense of humour and heart. Stav, Abby & Matt already have a powerful connection with Brisbane, and it feels so special to be returning to SCA to help contribute to, and build on that momentum.”
With more than a decade of experience across radio and podcasting, Claire Bryant joins B105’s Stav, Abby & Matt as Senior Producer. Most recently, Byrant served as Breakfast Producer for KIIS 97.3’s Robin, Kip & Corey, following her role as Executive Producer for KIIS’ national night show Zach and Dom.
Bryant returns to SCA having spent eight years previously with the network in roles including Senior Producer for the Hit Network’s statewide Queensland breakfast show Bronte & Lakey as well as playing a pivotal role in the launch of the LiSTNR podcast Darling, Shine!.
Ed Kirkwood, B105 Content Director said: “The appointments of Kirsten and Claire are a testament to the calibre of people that B105 and SCA attract. Kirsten is an industry leading operator with an enviable resume, and Claire is an exceptionally talented radio producer. Both are outstanding additions to an already brilliant show and team, and I’m excited to see them hit the ground running and take B105 to new heights.”
Claire Bryant has already commenced in the role, with Kirsten Ploog scheduled to start on Monday, January 12.
B105’s Stav, Abby & Matt (Stav Davidson, Abby Coleman and Matt Acton) remains one of Brisbane’s most successful breakfast shows and returns for its ninth year on Monday, January 19, from 6am – 9am on B105 and LiSTNR.
