Nova 96.9 reveals team for Sydney summer breakfast show

Matt, Sarah & Matty J, Nova 96.9’s Saturday breakfast show, will now be heard on-air for the two weeks in the lead up to Christmas, from Monday 9 December at 6am.

No stranger to Nova listeners, Matt De Groot, Sarah McGilvray and Matty J (pictured) currently broadcast on Saturdays as Nova 96.9’s Matt, Sarah & Matty J breakfast show and were Nova 96.9’s summer breakfast show last year.

Matt De Groot said, “I couldn’t be more excited to be involved once again in Nova’s summer breakfast with Sarah and Matty J. We’ve all had a big year and this is a great way to finish it off. We got together a few weeks ago and agreed that the summer show would simply be wall-to-wall Christmas carols, littered with as many Christmas ham giveaways as possible. Management is yet to sign off on that but regardless, I can’t wait.”

Sarah McGilvray said, “I’m very excited to spend a couple of weeks with my second favourite male radio co-hosts, plus I couldn’t turn down the chance to avoid full time parenting for another two weeks! Expect a lot of Mariah Carey music…well, really, just one song played a lot!”

Matty J said, “Doing Summer breakfast is like finally getting the keys to your parents’ car. We'll start off a little cautious but after a week the place will be filled with used coffee cups, dirty clothes and a half-eaten sandwich. But on a serious note, finishing off an incredible year with this opportunity is icing on the cake! Then the sprinkles on that icing is being able to share it with Matt and Sarah, who I've had the pleasure of working with almost every weekend for the last 12 months. The three of us offer a lot of humour, which is sometimes sweet natured, politically incorrect or immature depending on which one of us is talking. I can't wait!”

The team will be heard weekdays from Monday 9 December to Friday 20 December at 6am on Nova 96.9 in Sydney. Fitzy & Wippa will return to breakfast on Monday 20 January 2020.
