Big changes are afoot at triple j, with the national youth broadcaster announcing a mid-year reshuffle across its flagship Breakfast and Drive slots.
Stepping into Brekky from July are fan-fave duo Abby Butler and Tyrone Pynor, who’ll be bringing their trademark mix of big cackles, wild stories and genuinely elite vibes to the early shift. The longtime mates have already built a cult following on Drive since 2023 – hosting everything from the Hottest 100 to Mardi Gras broadcasts – so tbh this feels like a very natural (and very loud) next step.
Meanwhile, current Breakfast host Luka Muller is heading to Drive, swapping the 4am alarm for a slightly more humane schedule – and teasing a mystery new co-host still to be revealed. It marks a new chapter after a huge stint on Breakfast that saw him front triple j’s 50th anniversary celebrations, multiple Hottest 100s and a stacked run of major events.
As part of the shake-up, Concetta Caristo will wrap up her time at the station at the end of June, closing out a much-loved three-year run that’s seen her become one of triple j’s most distinctive and beloved voices.
““As a girl known for having one million feelings in every moment, it is criminal to be asked to sum up my time at triple j in a sentence,” Concetta shared in a statement. “Spending my mornings laughing and talking to so many people around the country has been a genuine privilege and joy in my life. I’m going to cherish the memories forever.”
The new era officially kicks off in July, with Abby & Tyrone on Breakfast, Luka on Drive, and one big question still hanging in the air: who’s joining him for the ride home?
Stay tuned.
