NOVA Entertainment today announced that Nova Drive co-host Joel Creasey will launch his own radio show across the Nova Network, which is set to make its debut in April.
The new show marks an exciting new chapter for the hugely talented comedian and co-host of the Nova Network’s highly successful Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel Drive show.
Joel’s brand new national show will broadcast live at lunchtime on weekdays, where he is set to bring his signature quick wit, high energy and unmistakable flair to a fresh lunchtime audience.
Said Joel, “I’m doing a Ginger Spice and made the decision to go it solo! (I’ve waited over 20 years to say that!). Scintillating references like that and oh-so-very-much-more you can expect from The Joel Creasey Show launching Australia-wide across the Nova Network! It’s been an utter joy to be a member of the national Drive program for the past five years, and an honour to play a part in such a legacy show.
“I’ve learnt so much from Tim and Ricki-Lee and am so excited for us and wish them all the best (for their early alarms, that is, did you really think I’d be getting up at that time?!). As someone whose GIG it is to GIGGLE – and share that with our listeners – some of my greatest, bellyaching laughs have been with Tim and Ricki-Lee which I will forever cherish. And previously, of course, with the gorgeous Kate Ritchie.
“I’m off to the boardroom (*note to self: find out where the boardroom is) for the next little while to concoct something very special which, yes, I’m aware is cliche promotional slang. But if you’re familiar with my work, life, lunacy and sheer chaos that seems to follow me, strap in for a wild ride! Chat shortly, yeah? Zigah-zigah, Australia!”
Nova Network’s Group Programming Director, Brendan Taylor added, “Joel has been instrumental to the success of Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, which has consistently held the number one spot in its timeslot. We’re thrilled to announce this new show. Joel is an immensely talented broadcaster and comedian, and this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase his talents in an entirely new part of the day. We’re excited to add another world class talent to our new weekday line-up.”
NOVA Entertainment CEO, Peter Charlton said, “Nova has proven, with the success of The Chrissie Swan Show, an ability to create new appointments-to-listen in the workday. Joel is an enormous talent and this new lunchtime show highlights our commitment to great content for listeners and new commercial opportunities for brands.”
Further details about The Joel Creasey Show will be announced in due course.
