From Monday 15 January, Mike Etheridge (Mike E) and Emma Chow will join Sydney’s 104.1 2DayFM, hosting Mornings from 9am – 11am. The move comes amidst speculation that the pair are in line to be possible breakfast hosts on the Hit Network station.
Mike E and Emma said: “We’re so excited to bring Mike E & Emma to 104.1 2DayFM! We grew up listening to 2DayFM and it was always our dream to be on air here. We can’t wait to have more hilarious conversations with our loyal listeners on 2DayFM. Bring on 2024!”
104.1 2DayFM content director, Ryan Tothill, said: “We’re excited to have Mike E & Emma join our daytime line-up in 2024, they are a fantastic show that will bring a lot of energy and passion to the workday. They are a hard-working show that I know will deliver fun and engaging content to the 2DayFM audience.”
Etheridge and Chow began their time on air together in 2010 hosting Breakfast on The Edge 96.1, spending 11 years with the station before leaving at the end of 2021. At the time, the pair said, “It’s very bittersweet saying goodbye to The Edge. We’re incredibly proud of the show we have created and the audience we have built, but it’s time to grow and evolve.”
In March 2022, ARN announced the rebranding of The Edge 96.1 to CADA.
