Triple M's 2025 Drive line-up: Marty Sheargold and rush hour's JB & Billy extend reach

Triple M has unveiled its Drive show line-up for 2025. The Marty Sheargold Show will continue to be broadcast nationally across the Triple M network, from 3-4pm, Monday to Friday but will extend its broadcast across the Drive shift from 4-6pm for listeners in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast and all Triple M regional markets in New South Wales and Queensland.

Sheargold, a popular comedian and radio personality, returned to Triple M in 2021. His show's podcast consistently features on the All-Australian Top 200 Ranker.

"I’m looking forward to returning to the Drive shift for NSW and Queensland listeners in 2025 and giving them the extended version of the show," Sheargold said. "The commute home is a time to unwind and finish the day with a chat and a laugh, and that’s exactly what I will be aiming to deliver. I also wanted to thank the teams from the Sydney, Brisbane/Gold Coast and Queensland Rush Hour shows who have all had amazing stints and been hugely entertaining. I’m committed to carrying on their legacies."

The Rush Hour with JB & Billy Drive show will be heard from 4-6 p.m, Monday to Friday, across Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, and Triple M’s regional stations in South and Western Australia. The show has seen its best survey results since 2019 and regularly ranks in the Top 50 Australian-made podcasts. It attracts an average of more than 120,000 unique monthly listeners. James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless, the hosts, acknowledged the Adelaide and Perth Rush Hour teams and expressed their excitement about the extended live show.

"We’re excited that our live show will now be extended for our listeners in South and Western Australia, which are legendary footy states with an incredible history of successes, as Bill knows because he attends all their premiership reunions. We also want to acknowledge the Adelaide and Perth Rush Hour teams, many of whom are great mates, and congratulate them on their shows. We don’t underestimate the opportunity we have been given and we are focused on creating a show that honours them and their listeners."

Dave Cameron, SCA Chief Content Officer, expressed his excitement about the 2025 line-up and thanked the existing state Rush Hour shows for their commitment.

"Triple M in 2025 will continue its transformative content approach for the continued audience growth that we have seen in the last two years on Australia’s legendary Triple M Network, by delivering two already well-loved shows that will both extend into new markets next year in Drive."

The new Triple M line-up for 2025 marks the end of the Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth Rush Hour shows. The 2025 Triple M Drive line-up commences across the Triple M network in January 2025.
