Former 2Day FM breakfast host Maz Compton joins Hit NSW

Former 2Day FM breakfast host Maz Compton will join Daniel ‘Gawndy’ Gawned on Hit NSW breakfast on a permanent basis, with current host Ash Pollard stepping away from full-time radio.

Pollard has worked with Gawned since 2018, firstly as his breakfast co-host on then 101.3 Sea FM (later Hit 101.3), before the duo were selected to have their show beamed across regional NSW when Southern Cross Austereo called time on a string of regional breakfast shows in 2020.

At the time, SCA cut 19 regional breakfast shows around Australia, redeploying some breakfast hosts where possible, with others leaving the network entirely.
