92.9’s Keegan Bakker moves to Fox
Keegan Bakker moves from 92.9 to Fox
Perth radio presenter Keegan Bakker will join Melbourne’s FoxFM in the afternoon slot, replacing Tim Lee who gave his notice earlier in the year.
Keegan comes across from the Today Network sister station 92.9 where he presented mornings 9-12.30pm. The move sees Ross ‘Hot Ross’ Wallman, former breakfast producer on Lisa, Paul and Baz filling Keegan’s spot.
Bakker got his first on-air role with his home town station Bendigo’s Star FM.
In 2011, Fox offered Bakker weekend development shifts to hone his skills which saw him secure a full-time metro role at 92.9 for the majority of 2012.
Bakker said of his new role: “I still can’t believe it – I grew up listening to the Fox, so I’m absolutely stoked that I’m going to be a part of such a Melbourne icon. I’m a big fan of Tim’s work so I definitely have massive shoes to fill, but I’m really excited by the challenge.”
Dave Cameron, head of content for Fox, said: “In the last 12 months he’s continued to shine on air in Perth, whilst learning the music ropes and heading up social media for the content team.”
Lee’s last day is Friday with Keegan stepping in on Monday.
