Andy Lee has discussed the possibility of himself and Hamish Blake returning to the airwaves as the Australian radio wars heat up in 2024.

Appearing on a new co-presents episode of Mumbrella’s one-on-one podcast and The Plug podcast, Lee discussed the current radio landscape, which has seen the Melbourne market in particular dominate headlines on the back of Kylie & Jackie O entering the game this year and Nova’s Jase & Lauren taking over top spot for breakfast.

Hamish & Andy left drive radio in 2017 and have since moved to the podcast world, where their weekly show has continued to command Australian charts. Given constant movements, particularly at Southern Cross Austereo over the years, Lee admitted that the duo have fielded offers many times.
