Luka Muller joins triple j Breakfast as Bryce Mills jumps to lunch

Comedian and presenter Luka Muller will join triple j Breakfast with Concetta Caristo from Monday, 1 July, as Bryce Mills moves to triple j Lunch with co-host Dave Woodhead.

Muller is a comedian, writer, presenter and podcaster who has performed at comedy festivals in Australia and across the world, all while holding down his triple j Weekend Arvos gig alongside Jordan Barr.

"I can't even begin to process how excited I am to join triple j Breakfast," he said.

"I've been tuning into the station since I was 10-years-old. Listening to the Breakfast show on my way to high school shaped my taste in music and introduced me to the idea of becoming a comedian, which has shaped my entire life ever since. Oh God, even saying that out loud, I'm getting overwhelmed.

"I've been friends with Concetta for years, before either of us worked at triple j, so joining her is huge. I can't wait to do heaps of fun stuff together and hope to connect with triple j listeners in the same way I felt connected with the station as a teenager."

Bryce Mills will leave the breakfast show on Friday 21 June, and will join Woodhead on the lunch show.

Speaking of the move, Mills added: "triple j Breakfast was the dictionary definition of a dream job for me. I'd lie in my bed in high school, stare at the roof and imagine myself one day doing the things I've been privileged enough to do over the last three and a half years.

"I'm so thankful to our listeners who have shared their deepest, darkest and weirdest stories and secrets with us every morning.

"When triple j came to me with the opportunity to start something brand new with my mate Dave Woodhead, I did a lot of reflecting and figured that now was the perfect time. I've left no stone unturned on Breakfast, and now I get to help launch a brand new Lunch show that hasn’t existed before. The chance to have a normal circadian rhythm again is honestly just a bonus at this point."

Caristo and Muller will host triple j Breakfast on weekdays from 6am - 9am from 1 July. Lunch with Dave & Bryce will be on weekdays from 12pm to 3:30pm starting Monday 8 July.

In the most recent radio ratings survey, triple j held a 3.3% share in Sydney, and a 2.5% share in the breakfast slot. In Melbourne, it fared worse, with a 2.5% share overall and 1.9% in breakfast.
