Brisbane's Nova 106.9 is set to lose one of its three breakfast hosts, with Susie O’Neill, confirming her departure from the Ash, Luttsy and Susie O’Neill breakfast show.

O’Neill, who has co-hosted the show for over a decade, revealed her decision on-air, stating her desire to pursue other professional and personal goals.

O’Neill joined the station as a casual sports reporter in 2013 and has since shared the studio with her on-air colleagues, Ash Bradnam and David “Luttsy” Lutteral. The trio's camaraderie and engaging content have been a staple for Nova 106.9's listeners over the years.

"I do this with a very heavy heart, this decision wasn’t easy. Ash and Luttsy are like brothers to me, they brought me into their world a little over a decade ago and they have always been my biggest supporters. We have formed an incredible bond over the years, which made this decision even harder. I’m proud to call them my friends, as I am the entire Nova breaky team," O’Neill said.

Nova Network’s Group Programming Director, Brendan Taylor, and NOVA Entertainment’s CEO, Peter Charlton, expressed their support for O’Neill's decision and their hopes of continuing to work with her in the future.

"Susie has been an integral part of the Nova Brisbane broadcasting family for 11 years, so we fully support Susie’s decision to switch off the alarm and step away from the breakfast shift. We’re also really excited about what’s next for Susie. She’s a supremely talented broadcaster who brings excellence to everything she does, so we hope to continue to work with Susie in 2025 and beyond," said Taylor.

Charlton said: "Susie is an enormous talent who, alongside Ash and Luttsy, has built a unique connection with the Brisbane audience for over a decade. Seeing her transform from medal winner to consistent ratings winner has been an absolute pleasure and Susie will always be a part of the NOVA family."

O’Neill will present her final Nova 106.9 breakfast show on Thursday, November 28. The station's breakfast show lineup for 2025 will be announced in due course. This change marks the end of an era for Nova 106.9 and its listeners, who have come to regard O’Neill as a familiar and beloved voice during their morning routines.
