Nova Entertainment has that new breakfast show 'Jase & Lauren' will debut on Nova 100 on Friday, March 8.

The show will be hosted by Melbourne broadcasters Jason 'Jase' Hawkins and Lauren Phillips. The duo previously debuted their first show together in 2021, which reportedly led to record ratings figures when the show concluded at the end of 2023.

The announcement of Jase and Lauren’s move to Nova 100 in early February was met with a positive response from listeners. The current Nova 100 Breakfast Show team, Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Belle Jackson, will end their breakfast hosting duties on Thursday, March 7.

Ben Harvey, Liam Stapleton and Belle Jackson will then take on hosting duties for Nova’s new national show 'Late Drive with Ben, Liam and Belle' from 6pm-8pm starting Monday, March 11.

Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small will continue to broadcast across the country on weeknights in a new timeslot of 8pm-10pm. Listeners can stream the shows live or catch up with the daily podcast by downloading the Nova Player.

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

"The response from everyone has been overwhelming and we really appreciate it," said Hawkins. "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."

Nova Network Group Programming Director, Brendan Taylor, said: "We’re so excited for Jase and Lauren to kick off their show next Friday. In their short time with us so far, they’ve settled in seamlessly with the Nova family and I know they’re going to bring their best show to listeners this year."
