Triple M welcomes social media stars to lead new national show

Triple M has announced the final addition to its Drive programming, unveiling a brand-new national show, Lu & Jarch, airing weekdays from 2pm to 4pm starting Tuesday, June 10.

The show will bring Triple M’s signature comedy to early afternoons, bridging into the sport-led Rush Hour programs airing across the country from 4pm to 6pm - the spot recently held by broadcaster Marty Sheargold.

With nearly 900,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram and more than 28 million TikTok likes, the duo’s raw, offbeat humour makes them a natural fit for Triple M’s “Good Times and Greatest Hits” brand.

Dal Din, who previously worked behind the scenes in radio, called the opportunity a dream come true: “I’m so excited to be on the Triple M airwaves daily with Jarch!” she said.

Archdale also reflected on his journey, noting, “SCA provided me with my first job out of Uni as a regional sales coordinator. To be coming back into the frey after 13 years, and be the bloke walking into the studio, is a huge full circle moment for me.”

SCA Chief Content Officer Dave Cameron added: “SCA continues to lead the charge in bringing exciting real talent to the industry. Lu and Jarch already host one of the funniest podcasts in the country with a massive social following.

"Now bringing their much-loved shenanigans to Triple M, alongside the Rush Hour with JB & Billy and our recently announced Rush Hour shows in NSW and Queensland, completes the drive home on Triple M nationally.

"We will unashamedly continue our pursuit to be the chosen home for Australia’s biggest and brightest content creators across our radio networks and LiSTNR. Lu and Jarch are about as authentically hilarious as they come.”

The announcement follows recent additions to Triple M’s Drive strategy, including Rush Hour editions hosted by JB & Billy, as well as state-based shows in New South Wales and Queensland.

Lu & Jarch will air from 2pm to 4pm nationwide followed by The Rush Hour with JB & Billy in the AFL states (Victoria, Adelaide, Western Australia and Tasmania), The Rush Hour with Dobbo & Elliott in Queensland and The Rush Hour with Maroon in New South Wales.
