‘We are counting down the minutes’: Jase & Lauren’s Nova 100 start date announced

Jase & Lauren will soon be making their debut as the new Nova 100 Melbourne breakfast team, after being unceremoniously dumped by KIIS for Kyle and Jackie O’s incoming debut.

Jason Hawkins and Lauren Phillips will start on air next Friday, March 8, with a three-hour debut ahead of the Victorian Labour Day long weekend.

The current Nova 100 Breakfast Show team Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Belle Jackson will wrap on Thursday, March 7, before taking the reins of Nova’s new national show, Late Drive with Ben, Liam and Belle, from 6pm-8pm on Monday, March 11.

“We’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by the response over the past few months and in particular the excitement of the last few weeks,” Phillips said.

“No one is more excited to be back together and back on air than the two of us. We are counting down the minutes until next Friday. We’ve got plenty of stories to tell and lots of catching up to do. Melbourne, we are back and can’t wait to have a laugh with you.”

Hawkins added: “The response from everyone has been overwhelming and we really appreciate it. It’s added a lot of pressure on that first show and those three hours of work, so I do feel we’ll need the weekend off to recover. Jokes aside, we are so pumped to have our dysfunctional family back together and we can’t wait to get on the air at Nova and catch up with everyone.”

Jase & Lauren can be heard weekdays 6am to 9am on Nova 100 in Melbourne from Friday, March 8.
