Now, they\u2019re ready to bring their unmistakable talent, energy and chemistry to 2DayFM Breakfast in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy said: \u201cWhen Nath and I met 10 years ago, we said we\u2019d love to do Sydney breakfast\u2026 but we never imagined we\u2019d actually get the job! For us, it\u2019s about entertaining people and putting a smile on their faces. You never know what someone is going through, and we want to be a show that brings joy to people. That\u2019s why we do what we do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re also thrilled to welcome Emma into the Jimmy &amp; Nath family. She\u2019s an amazing broadcaster` and we\u2019re just as excited that her two kids now have two funcles (fun uncles).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nath said: \u201cGrowing up in the Sutherland shire in Sydney, 2DayFM was always on in the car \u2013 blaring loud enough so Mum wouldn\u2019t have to hear me whinging about not having fancy lunches like the other kids. 2DayFM has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJimmy and I are best mates who adore radio, and after more than 10 years together, it\u2019s weird to say we are doing 2DayFM breakfast in Sydney \u2013 something we used to joke about. This isn\u2019t a flash-in-the-pan show, it\u2019s one that we\u2019ve been building for years, and we can\u2019t wait to kick off the next chapter of our careers with 2Day brekky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlus we\u2019re lucky to welcome Em, a fantastic radio presenter who will play an instrumental role in the Jimmy &amp; Nath show\u2019s future! We definitely misbehave more than her kids, which she has now contractually accepted. Hopefully in 2025 parents will be turning 2DayFM up across Sydney to block out their kids\u2019 backseat rants \u2013 just like my mum did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joining Jimmy &amp; Nath is Emma Chow, a respected Sydney radio broadcaster who has been entertaining audiences as part of the iconic\u00a0<em>Mike E &amp; Emm<\/em>a show on Edge 96.1 for over a decade before joining 2DayFM as hosts of Mornings in 2024. Known for her relatable and honest style, Emma will provide a sharp take on entertainment news.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Chow said: \u201cTo say this is a dream come true is an understatement! I set my alarm to listen to 2DayFM breakfast every morning before school when I was a kid, so this all feels very surreal. I love Sydney, and I can\u2019t wait to bring my \u2018I\u2019m not a regular Mum, I\u2019m a cool Mum\u2019 (I think?) energy to Jimmy &amp; Nath. Let\u2019s do this!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dave Cameron, SCA Chief Content Officer said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been excited to hear\u00a0<strong>Jimmy &amp; Nath\u00a0<\/strong>bring much-needed energy and a creative buzz to Breakfast, that Sydneysiders deserve, during their past five months filling in on 2DayFM Breakfast. Now with the addition of Emma Chow\u2019s energy and spark \u2013 who is already familiar to Sydney Breakfast listeners \u2013 this show is an exciting confirmation for 2DayFM Breakfast moving forward. There has already been strong interest from our commercial clients who are hungry to be a part of this brand safe, fun and vibrant new way for Sydney audiences to wake up. We\u2019re really pumped about the new shape and approach that 2DayFM is beginning to take this year to do something different in Sydney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Together, Jimmy, Nath, and Emma are poised to reignite 2DayFM Breakfast, delivering laughter, entertainment, and everything listeners need to start their day in 2025\u2014and beyond!\u00a0<strong>Jimmy &amp; Nath\u00a0<\/strong>will be heard Monday to Friday from 6am to 9am on 2DayFM and can be streamed on LiSTNR.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Etheridge from the Mike E &amp; Emma show will continue to play a key role at SCA in 2025, with further details to be announced.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>About the Hit Network:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hit Network is Australia\u2019s biggest radio network broadcasting across metro and regional markets with a unique collection of 50 FM and DAB+ stations.
