Sydney breakfast radio turns gay


A cavalcade of stars is helping Sydney’s newest radio station launch an all-gay breakfast show.

OX Live (www.oxlive.com.au) will take on the big boys of commercial radio from July 1, as Sydney’s high-profile jocks take a break.

“We totally look up to Kyle & Jackie O,” admits presenter Casey Comans.

“But with the king and queen of radio on holiday we thought two queens should step up and have a go!”

JQ & Casey’s All-Star Breakfast will hit the airwaves every morning from 7am, and they’ve enlisted Australia’s biggest GLBTI stars to help them.

“We’ll be co-hosting with Matthew Mitcham, Carlotta, Anthony Callea and Samantha Jade,” says presenter Joshua Quirk.

“Our producer is even in talks with Britney Spears! But that’s a very long shot,” he laughs.

City of Sydney councillor Christine Forster will also speak live with JQ & Casey, with just weeks until her brother Tony Abbott heads to the polls.
