Last month, Mediaweek spoke to The Fox’s Fifi Box about the station’s Brekky in the Burbs project.
“The last two years of lockdowns, particularly here in Melbourne, were so tough,” says Box. “We found through that whole period, people were coming to us organically and saying ‘thanks for getting us through this’. Having that companionship and connection on the radio through what’s going on in our city – it made me fall in love with radio all over again.
“The feedback has been phenomenal to a point where we know we’re going to keep going, these Brekky in the Burbs broadcasts will now be part of our show moving forward.”
