Mix 106.5 puts Rosso in drivetime; Yumi Stynes and Sami Lukis host breakfast; Ant Simpson departs
Lukis and Stynes
ARN is to tear up its key programming lineup on Sydney station Mix 106.5.
The wholesale changes include a brand new breakfast show for Sydney and drivetime show for Sydney and Melbourne.
The new hosts of the Sydney breakfast show will be Sami Lukis – who moves from drivetime where she co-hosted a show with the departing Ant Simpson – and Yumi Stynes who was dropped from the 3PM Pickup in August. ARN says this will be Sydney’s first all-female breakfast team.
“Rosso’s comedic skills make him uniquely suited to drive time”. Then WTF was he doing on breakfast in 2012?
I predict that if the new breakfast show is as contrived as the picture of Sami and Yumi that was posted with this story then the current breakfast show rating of 3.9% could be a peak.
I love the music on Mix Sydney. Love it. But the shows – especially Ryan Seacrest – are dreadful.
Mix is one of those stations that has the music right and everything else wrong.
What do the ratings look like for Mix breakfast in Melbourne? They must be onto something if they have decided to pursue the same strategy in Sydney.
I can’t see the Rosso show working in the afternoon. He’s not the right fit for the station – breakfast audience figures in Sydney this year proved it.
Oh dear – musical chairs!!
Stynes got another job?…… Will wonders never cease
I can’t lie, I am very keen on this line up, I think it’s going to fab. And, I love that neither of them do that typical girlie self-depracating spiel, they’re good, strong, intellgient funny women. What’s not to like?!
Renee – Watch the promo clip above. Both woman talk about men (their relationships), clothing, children, and cooking. It’s the girlie Spiel.
Just give up and just bring Merrick and Rosso back together already!!
Love Sami but won’t be listening now thanks to Yumi…
And where has Ant gone?
So that officially makes it Merrick V Rosso, not Merrick and Rosso
Hey Dave, it’s not that I thought they wouldn’t do girlie stuff, I’m just grateful that neither of them do that self-doubt schtick. There’s a few female radio announcers on air at the moment that just bag themselves out the whole time, using themselves as the joke and I find that really depressing. From my experience of listening to them both, I don’t think either of them have that bad habit.
Cannot wait for these girls. Goooo Yumi ✔✔✔
I love mix but you can’t get it right…
Russo is funny in the morning..
i don’t really listen much in the afternoon
so i will miss him…loved ant and beck
