The move of KiisFM’s Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes and Kate Langbroek to the Hit network in 2018 could be costly for ARN after the duo dominated Sydney drive time, handing the network an FM ratings win.

Isn’t it that Triple M’s local drive won’t be replaced by Kennedy Molloy outright? So I think saying Merrickville is wrapping up is wrong… unless I missed something?

Hi Niko,

Triple M local drive will be replaced by Kennedy and Molloy – the network’s first national drive show. Merrick will not be returning to Sydney drive in 2018.

Cheers,
