ARN taps Howard Stern producer for Christian O’Connell Show
ARN has named Sarah Juchima as the new show director for The Christian O’Connell Show.
Juchima (nee: Faour) was previously senior producer and show runner on The Howard Stern Show in New York, and has worked on numerous local programs, including Hughesy & Kate, and The Hot Breakfast. Most recently she was senior show producer on The Front Bar.
In this new role, Juchima will lead the development and execution of a plan to drive growth in both ratings and revenue across all platforms for The Christian O’Connell Show. Collaborating closely with executive producer Caitlin McArthur and the wider team, she will play a key role in furthering the show’s success.
“I love radio, especially breakfast radio, so I’m delighted to commence working on The Christian O’Connell Show,” Juchima said.
“I’m looking forward to connecting with the team and helping an already brilliant, warm and funny show reach new heights. Bring on the permanent jet lag…and the coffee!”
O’Connell explained he “tracked Sarah down, stalking her on LinkedIn, as she had this incredibly unique experience of working in Australian radio, and also on the world’s biggest radio show, Howard Stern, as a showrunner”.
“I have been looking for someone to be a showrunner with me for years but finding likeminded and like-hearted souls is rare,” he said.
“I knew she was who I needed to help me co-create what I’ve already started. She possesses a world class mindset and skill set, with a burning passion for making radio that matters. Sarah’s return to radio will be game changing, mark my words.”
The Christian O’Connell Show will return to air on GOLD104.3 on Monday, January 20.
