Human talent numbers dwindle at CADA as Jake Powell takes breakfast

There have been more talent shake-ups at ARN’s youth radio station experiment Cada, with content director Jake Powell taking the reins in the key breakfast slot.

Powell has replaced Sophie Nathan, who has left the broadcaster. Aside from Powell, the only other human talent listed on Cada’s program page is K-Sera, who has the 3pm to 7pm slot on weekdays. The controversial AI-generated host ‘Thy’ fills the 11am to 3pm ‘Workdays’ slot.

ARN was approached for comment about Cada’s dwindling publicly-facing talent lineup. Mumbrella also inquired around long-term plans for the breakfast slot, how Powell is balancing his behind-the-scenes role with on-air commitments, and whether Cada’s new operating model will continue to be talent-lite.
