CADA announces 2024 line-up after last year’s departures
After making several of its radio hosts redundant late last year, ARN’s youth-focused station CADA has announced its 2024 line-up.
In mid-2023, ARN announced a restructure to the station’s content team to reflect economic challenges, and in December, the breakfast team of Kian, Avneesha, and Yaz and afternoon duo Flex and Froomes (Lillian Ahenkan and Lucinda Price) all departed.
On Friday morning, the station announced its 2024 line-up, bringing in new breakfast talent Sophie Nathan.

Nathan previously hosted multiple shows across New Zealand’s The Edge, before moving to CADA in July as digital content manager.
“CADA is so rich in culture, and we bring the hottest tracks and artists to the forefront in Australian music. I’m just so excited to be a part of growing that,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to being able to connect to the audience, bringing in all the latest as it happens, and getting them closer to their favourite artists,” Nathan continued. “I’ll be there every weekday morning and I hope to grow the show into one you know will not only have the best music and biggest interviews but is also a loved source of connection.
“All in all, CADA breakfast is in for one hell of a 2024 and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of it.”
Returning to CADA in 2024 is drive host K-Sera (Sarah Harris), who has worked in Australian radio for over a decade.

She will also continue her K-Sera & The Dirty Dozen show in the evenings, where she introduces upcoming talent from Australia, New Zealand, and around the globe.
“I’m super excited to be back on CADA in 2024 to showcase all the incredible emerging talent from all corners of this incredible country we call home,” she said of her return.
“You will hear me from 3pm and then alongside all the best DJs in Australia to kickstart the Dirty Dozen from 5pm, where we will sound off the 12 hottest tracks in Hip Hop and R&B.
“I promise to get you up close and personal with the biggest artists from around the globe and help find your new favourite jam and Australian artist. I can’t wait!”
