Triple M’s Katie Lamb and Xavier Ellis will continue working as the station’s breakfast show hosts.
The announcement:
92.9 Triple M has today announced that Xavier Ellis and Katie Lamb have signed a multi-year deal with the station, continuing their run as hosts of Perth’s popular local breakfast show.
The new deal will see Triple M’s Xav & Katie continue to wake up Perth, bringing their unmistakable chemistry and genuine friendship to the airwaves each weekday morning.
Since launching the show in 2024, the duo has struck a powerful chord with listeners across the city, recently delivering the best-ever Breakfast result in Triple M Perth’s history, with a 13.4% share*, and the strongest on the 92.9 frequency since 2010. The show also recorded an increase of 41,000 listeners, reaching a cumulative audience of 239,000. Xav & Katie also claimed the coveted #1 spot in the ‘Audience that Matters’ (All People 25–54) with a 24.1% share* and recorded a #1 result with Men 25–54 (31.9%)* in the latest GfK radio ratings survey.
Xav said: “People receive medals for winning races, returning from war and working multiple years with Katie Lamb. It’s a privilege to speak daily with our friends throughout Perth every morning and I’m so happy to be able to extend that into the future. I can’t wait to meet Katie’s beautiful daughter and beyond that, I’m excited to spend each morning with Katie next year.”
Katie said: “Really excited to lock in a few more years at Triple M with Xav and his four nipples! I’ve loved working on the breakfast show so far, so many laughs on and off the air, it makes those 4am alarm clocks totally worth it! Can’t wait to return next year with plenty more content being a new Mum, any advice and guidance from our listeners will be welcome as I literally have no idea what I’m doing… Looking forward to more people joining in on the banter with X-man and me for your morning commute!”
James Speed, group content director Perth SCA, said: “Since joining forces in 2024, Xav & Katie have taken off in the breakfast slot. Their genuine friendship and chemistry are unreal, it’s like listening to a bunch of mates having a laugh, and the audience is loving it. The show’s already made its mark in the market, and we’re only just getting started. Today’s announcement is a reflection of how much belief we have in this team and where they’re headed. They’ve already delivered some outstanding results, and the momentum is building. Triple M’s made a real statement in 2025, the ratings tell us Perth is on board, and we’re pumped to keep delivering local content that hits home. We’re also focused on working closely with our clients and partners to achieve genuine, long-term success together.”
Katie will return to the show in 2026 following parental leave. In the meantime, Dani Shuey will continue to join Xav in the Triple M studio each morning from 5:30am.
