Tim Blackwell has been part of the Nova Network since 2001. Today he is a host of Nova’s national drive show Kate, Tim & Joel with Kate Ritchie and Joel Creasey.

In pre-COVID days of long commutes during peak hours, it was a key slot. Despite the societal changes, it is still an important position. He started his radio career at Nova 100 as Melbourne’s late-night announcer. In 2002 he moved to Perth to host Nova 93.7’s local drive show and was the first voice on air when the station launched, with a Red Hot Chili Peppers interview.
