Wil Anderson to step in as host for Triple M breakfast
Triple M has snagged a big, albeit temporary, replacement for its vacant Melbourne breakfast slot.
Following news that Marty Sheargold will step down from the role at 105.1 to move to afternoons, Southern Cross Austereo has confirmed that popular Aussie comedian Wil Anderson will take over hosting duties alongside Collingwood premiership player, Daisy Thomas, and Triple M mainstay, Rosie Walton.
The new show will kick off this Monday and run through to the end of the AFL season on Friday 4 October.
“I am a huge fan of Rosie, Daisy, and Triple M. I’m ready to take off the sub vest and help the team charge towards a run deep into the finals,” Anderson said.
“I reckon listeners are going to love what we’ve got ahead.”
Triple M Melbourne content director, Jay Mueller, added: “We are thrilled to have the expertise of Wil, Daisy and Rosie to guide Triple M Breakfast through to the end of the footy season. These are three fantastic people, passionate about radio, music, and footy, who will create a show Melburnians will absolutely love.”
Triple M has said a permanent breakfast show replacement will be announced “at a later date”.

Will has plenty of money from Tax payers on ABC, I was a Carlton supporter for many years but have dropped off. You know where I’m going here. Wake up SCA. Not everyone wants to hear 95% sport on Melbourne “ROCK” Radio.
