2Day FM confirms Hughesy, Ed and Erin WILL return next year

2Day FM has cleared up speculation about the future of the Hughsey, Ed and Erin breakfast show.

Rumors circulated last week that Tommy Little and Carrie Bickmore, the Hit Network’s national drive hosts, would take over the Sydney breakfast room in 2023 following Bickmore’s departure from Channel 10’s The Project.

However, Erin Molan stopped the gossip on Monday by confirming on LinkedIn that she and her co-hosts Dave Hughes and Ed Kavalee are not going anywhere.

“Completely unsolicited,” Molan began her post, presumably referring to the recent speculation surrounding her show.

‘Signed a new radio deal a few months ago… love these legends… love our breakfast show listeners (whose numbers have nearly doubled in a year) and am very grateful to be a part of Southern Cross Austereo she added. .

Hughesy, Ed and Erin took over 2Day FM’s breakfast in January, but the show has failed to reach the top of the viewing ladder despite its growing audience.

The show hit an all-time low in 2021, but is clambering its way back to hit its all-time high of listeners earlier this year.

Yet the program is still at the bottom of the pack, behind Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa and KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

It comes after well-placed sources denied reports that Bickmore was being considered for 2Day FM’s breakfast show.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, sources familiar with the negotiations said Bickmore will be the… Carrie and Tommy show, which airs weekdays from 3-6pm.

Bickmore’s reported radio salary of $1.5 million will also remain unchanged.

It comes after a Nine Network executive denied rumors that Bickmore is joining the Today show after announcing she’s leaving Channel 10’s The Project.

Industry sources said Bickmore, who has been linked to the Today appearance at least once, will take the job in 2023 alongside Karl Stefanovic, while Allison Langdon is lined up to replace Tracy Grimshaw on A Current Affair.

But Steven Burling, Nine’s director of Morning Television, stopped these claims on Twitter, saying the proposed steps will not take place.
