102.3 Triple M Townsville is launching a new Breakfast show, the CK & Kate Breakfast Show<\/em>, set to wake up North Queensland from Monday, 8 June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together two familiar North Queensland voices \u2013 Cliff \u2018CK\u2019 Kern<\/strong> and Kate Jeboult<\/strong> \u2013 the new show will deliver everything listeners love about Townsville life, including Cowboys chatter and community stories, plenty of laughs and personalities with deep local roots.

Born and raised in Townsville, CK joined 102.3 Triple M Townsville in 2021 and has become a familiar voice across the region through his work on radio, as well as his role as ground announcer alongside Kate for the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys and Townsville Fire. He\u2019s no stranger to Breakfast listeners, having stepped in to co-host the show for several weeks during Cliffo\u2019s long-service leave last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CK joins Kate Jeboult<\/strong>, who has co-hosted Townsville\u2019s top-rating Breakfast show alongside Cliffo since joining 102.3 Triple M in January 2024. Since moving to Townsville in 2017, Kate has firmly embedded herself in the local community. In 2019 she founded the news platform Townsville Scoop, <\/em>a place for locals to discover what\u2019s happening in their hometowns, which has reached more than 1.1 million people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cliff \u2018CK\u2019 Kern<\/strong> said: \u201cTownsville is my home, so getting the chance to wake up the city every morning alongside Kate is a privilege. We already know each other really well, and we both care a lot about our community. We\u2019ll have plenty of laughs, talk about what matters locally, and remain a part of our listeners\u2019 morning routine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate Jeboult<\/strong> said: \u201cCK and I have been friends off the air for many years, our kids play soccer together, and we host Cowboys games together. Getting the chance to bring that friendship to breakfast radio feels incredibly exciting. There\u2019s not a man who lives and breathes North Queensland more than CK, and I can\u2019t wait for listeners to hear our exciting new show.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After recently celebrating more than 25 years in radio and nearly two decades waking up listeners on breakfast radio, Guy \u2018Cliffo\u2019 Clifton<\/strong> has made the decision to discover what mornings look like after 4am. Trading early starts, Cliffo is moving into workdays on 102.3 Triple M providing him with a new challenge and allowing him to spend more time with his young family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy \u2018Cliffo\u2019 Clifton<\/strong> said: \u201cI\u2019ve loved every second of brekky radio, but I\u2019m looking forward to turning off the early alarms and getting to do the school drop-offs. This wasn\u2019t an easy decision because I love our Triple M listeners, but the good news is we\u2019ll still have plenty of yarns during the workday. I\u2019m really excited to get stuck into a different style of radio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCA Head of Regional Content, Blair Woodcock<\/strong>, said: \u201cWhen Cliffo first spoke to us about making this move, CK immediately stood out as the right person to step into Breakfast. He\u2019s a genuine Townsville local with a strong connection to the community, and listeners already know and love him. Combined with Kate\u2019s energy and local passion, we\u2019re excited to launch a show that North Queensland will love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss the debut of The<\/em> CK & Kate Breakfast Show \u2013 <\/em>tune in Monday, 8 June from 6am on 102.3 Triple M Townsville or listen live on the LiSTNR app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
