Triple M Melbourne has confirmed a significant change in its breakfast show line-up, with Marty Sheargold stepping down from his role.

Despite the shift, Sheargold will remain a key member of the Triple M and LiSTNR family, continuing to host 'The Marty Sheargold Show' as a national afternoon radio show and daily podcast on LiSTNR.

Sheargold's put the decision down to work-life balance. "Taking an extended break at the end of last year has reinforced the importance of spending more quality time with my family. As a result, I have made the decision to prioritise self-care, maintaining a better work/life balance and will not be returning to my Triple M Breakfast show."

"I want to thank my immediate team and the network for their ongoing support and understanding. And I'd also like to thank the listeners for their loyalty to both the show and the station. Like them, I remain a Triple M fan," Sheargold added.

SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron, said: "SCA supports Marty’s decision to rebalance his personal and work commitments, and we’d like to thank Marty and his team for creating a unique and hilarious Breakfast show for Melbourne since 2021. It is exciting however that our listeners will continue to hear Marty alongside his current team of Troy Ellis, Loren Barry and Will Ralston across both the Triple M network as a national Afternoon radio show and on his fan-favourite daily podcast on LiSTNR, which regularly ranks prominently on the Australian Podcast Ranker."

Details of the new 105.1 Triple M Melbourne Breakfast show will be announced in due course.
