Matt Newell to return to Hit 100.9 Hobart after five years

Hobart will hear a familiar voice back on the radio this week, as Matty Newell returns to Hit 100.9 after a five-year hiatus.

Following his 2013 appearance on Channel 7’s My Kitchen Rules, Matt started his career in radio the same year where he celebrated three years as a workday announcer and breakfast producer.

Matt Newell returns to Hit 100.9 as a casual announcer and is thrilled to be back behind the radio microphone.

"It’s great to be back at Hit 100.9 where my radio journey first began back in 2013,” he said.

“Tassie is my home, and I love it dearly, so to be speaking with my fellow Tasweigans again is a privilege and I am very grateful. Call me on 13 10 60 and say hey!"

SCA Hobart content director, Phil Bradley knows Hobart is going to love having Matty back across the airwaves.

“We’re excited to have Matty return to his radio home with the team at Hobart’s Hit 100.9. Matty brings his passion for local radio, which started here at Hit in 2013,” Bradley said.

“He’s an excellent communicator who loves talking with locals in the city where he was born and bred.”
