SCA has issued an emphatic statement in support of its Triple M Sydney breakfast show Beau, Cat & Woodsy, following media speculation they could be bumped in favour of radio stalwarts Merrick Watts and Tim Ross.

“Any speculation about changes to the Triple M Sydney Breakfast lineup is categorically false,” SCA said in an exclusive statement to Mumbrella.
The breakfast show features former NRL player turned media personality and host, Beau Ryan, alongside radio broadcaster and anchor Cat Lynch, and fellow former NRL identity Aaron ‘Woodsy’ Woods.

The show was first revealed towards the end of last year, with Ryan and Woods set to star in the program alongside newsreader stalwart Natarsha Belling. Belling, however, departed in March to join the afternoon news podcast The Briefing, part of SCA’s Listnr network.
