Triple M launches national on-air talent search
Lu and Jarch were popular podcasters before joining Triple M's on-air lineup
Triple M is launching a nationwide talent search to find its next new radio team, with on-air auditions happening across a single week in December.
Pilot Week begins December 15, with Triple M’s national breakfast slot handed over to five would-be radio teams, who each have a single two-hour shift to impress listeners and convince station programmers to add them to the 2026 lineup.
Entries open on October 31, and will be reviewed throughout November, and narrowed down to a top five. This marks the first time the station has launched a public-facing talent search for on-air presenters.
Here’s an idea: maybe they could just play music and keep the inane chat to an absolute minimum?
Great idea that other networks could learn from. – Instead of immediately going for the shareholder chequebook and signing the most ridiculous & unsustainable ‘talent’ contracts (because networking).
