KIIS 1011\u2019s Ash, Issie & Elliot<\/strong> has woken up Melbourne with a brand-new sound, bringing a morning of joy, fresh energy, entertainment and a healthy dose of chaos to the local airwaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadcasting live from ARN\u2019s Richmond studios for the first time, the trio officially ushered in a new era of breakfast radio for KIIS 1011, with the show\u2019s distinctly Melbourne mix of music, sport, fashion, culture and conversation on full display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show kicked off with a song voted for by their listeners, the \u2018Good KIISers\u2019, This Is What You Came For<\/strong> by Calvin Harris and Rihanna<\/strong>, before first caller Suzanne<\/strong> celebrated her 12-year wedding anniversary with a special surprise. After revealing she and her husband would mark the occasion by watching Robbie Williams\u2019 Live at the Albert<\/em>, Suzanne walked away with tickets to see Robbie live in Melbourne later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the show, Ash London, Isaac \u2018Issie\u2019 Smith and Elliot Garnaut gave listeners their first taste of what\u2019s to come, with their chemistry and unpredictability firmly at its heart. Messages of support flooded in from listeners across Melbourne, alongside friends and family, welcoming Ash, Issie & Elliot to KIIS 1011 and celebrating their first show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening the show, Ash London<\/strong> said: \u201cMorning to the greatest city and the history of the world. My name is Ash London. We\u2019ve all been working so hard behind the scenes to make this happen. We\u2019re so happy to be here with you. Now guys, this is your show. Everybody listening out there, we\u2019re going to call you our Good KIISers because you\u2019re here with us and you\u2019re here at 6:01 which means you\u2019re hardcore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elliot Garnaut<\/strong> said: \u201cI feel like this has been too long in the making, guys. You know I\u2019m a horrendous secret keeper, so to finally be here and actually have it out in the open, I can exhale\u2026 We\u2019re going to be your new best friend, you guys. You\u2019re in our group chat from now until the rest of eternity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac \u2018Issie\u2019 Smith<\/strong> added: \u201cJust on our text line, we\u2019ve just had a text come in \u2013 \u2018Welcome team, so exciting. Bula from Fiji\u2019 \u2013 so not only are we in the greatest city in the world, we are now global.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other highlights from the first show included Ash reflecting on her journey back to radio after becoming a mother and how the highs and lows ultimately led her to now hosting breakfast radio in her hometown, Elliot revealing his The Greatest Showman<\/em>-themed surprise for Hugh Jackman at Bec Harding and Andy Lee\u2019s wedding and Isaac debuting \u2018Issie\u2019s Kid\u2019s Quizzie\u2019<\/strong>, a new segment that sees a young listener try to guess the most popular answer from a survey of 100 Melbourne kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced last month, the new show brings together three distinctly Melbourne personalities, each bringing their own perspective to the city\u2019s highly competitive breakfast radio landscape. From Ash\u2019s broadcasting and entertainment expertise to Issie\u2019s elite AFL background and Elliot\u2019s fashion and cultural credentials, the first show offered a taste of the energy, chemistry and conversation listeners can expect each morning for the rest of the year and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KIIS Breakfast with Ash, Issie & Elliot<\/em><\/strong> can be heard on Melbourne\u2019s KIIS 1011 from 6am-10am weekdays, or via ARN\u2019s free iHeart app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
