  • Two of Australia's Most Prolific Comedy Talents, Dave Hughes and Ed
    Two of Australia’s most prolific comedy talents, Dave Hughes and Ed Kavalee first worked together back in 2009 and have an effortless on-air chemistry and union. They have been bolstered by the addition of reporter and presenter, Erin Molan, with the trio delivering Sydney the laughs from 5.30-9am weekdays on 2DayFM and from 6-7pm across the Hit Network. DAVE ‘HUGHESY’ HUGHES Dave Hughes is one of the biggest names in Australian comedy and his easy, laconic style disguises one of the nation’s sharpest comedic minds. His unflinching honesty connects him to audiences from all walks of life, evident through his prolific career across radio, TV and live stand-up comedy. Hughesy’s hugely successful TV shows, The Masked Singer and Hughesy, We Have a Problem make him one of Australia’s most loved national personalities. ED KAVALEE Known for his lightning fast comedy, wry wit and improvisation skills, Ed Kavalee has worked extensively in Australian television and radio for over a decade. Ed is a mainstay of Network Ten’s hugely successful comedy quiz show, Have You Been Paying Attention and has also forged a radio career of his own with roles on both Hit and Triple M, including the seminal Get This with Tony Martin. Russell Crowe remarked that Ed is ‘funny as sh*t’. Gladiatorial high praise indeed. ERIN MOLAN Erin has hosted multiple sports shows for the Nine Network and is the weekend sports presenter on Sydney’s number one news bulletin. Erin earned admiration for her informative and empathic broadcasting on 2GB and 4BC during some of the worst bushfires the nation has experienced in the summer of 2020 and will bring an extra layer of lively to Hughesy and Ed’s already brilliant and established show.

  • Dave Hughes Comedian / Broadcaster / Presenter
    DAVE HUGHES COMEDIAN / BROADCASTER / PRESENTER Natural and unmistakably Australian, Hughesy’s laconic style thinly disguises one of this country’s fastest comedic minds. Turning everyday foibles into rich and hilarious routines has made Hughesy the biggest name in Australian comedy. For 12 years Hughesy made up one half of Melbourne’s Nova breakfast team and for 5 years he co-hosted Network Ten’s The Project, not to mention 10 years on Ten’s AFL show Before the Game. While he never left stand-up behind, in late 2013 Dave shocked Australia by announcing that he would be giving up his radio and television jobs to go back to his roots touring a brand- new stand up show for an entire year. That show, Pointless sold over 60,000 tickets and went to every corner of Australia as well as overseas to LA, Montreal, the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre in London’s west end. In 2015 Dave returned to the airwaves with long time co-host Kate Langbroek, this time in the drive slot on the Hit Network, when Kate moved overseas in 2019 it became the Hughesy and Ed show with Ed Kavalee. Dave’s television show Hughesy We Have a Problem, where Australians can have their problems solved by Hughesy and his expert panel of problem solvers, premiered on Network Ten in early 2018 to rave reviews and big audiences. Its first season was extended by the network not long after its debut due to popular demand, and 2020 saw the fourth season going out across Australia.

  • A Love Affair with Latham? AUSTRALIAN NEWS MEDIA CHRONICLE JANUARY-JUNE 2004
    A Love Affair with Latham? AUSTRALIAN NEWS MEDIA CHRONICLE JANUARY-JUNE 2004 John Harrison “Wishful intelligence, the desire to please or reassure the recipient, was the most dangerous commodity in the whole realm of secret information.” James Bond in Ian Fleming’s Thunderball (1961:112) This critical interpretation of key issues and events in the Australian news media in the first half of 2004 analyses trends in four areas: the reporting of politics, changes in media policy and regulation, attempts to limit media freedom through restrictions on reporting, and movements in people, ownership, and broadcasting ratings. Of particular significance are the failure of the Australian Broadcasting Authority to adequately address cash for comment, a failure which had a considerable flow on effect; continuing challenges to the integrity of the ABC from within and without; mooted changes in defamation law; and a perception, again from within and without, that the Nine television network was losing its pre-eminence in commercial broadcasting. Much of the reporting and the policy debate were conditioned by the prospect of a closely contested federal election in the second half of the year. POLITICS: Luvin’ Latham The Australian media’s love affair with Opposition Leader Mark Latham is the big political news story of the period under review. Pictures of Mark Latham reading to small children; and then Latham standing beside Bob Brown in the Tasmanian forests, Mark Latham putting out the garbage at his western Sydney home, Mark Latham’s man boobs, and Mark and his son Ollie sharing a chip butty. The pic-facs have been endless.1 Elected on 2 December 2003 as a replacement for the hapless Simon Crean by the narrowest of margins (47 to 45), Latham’s ascent was a surprise for many journalists and apparently the Liberal 1 (Photo: Sydney Daily Telegraph 24 April 2004).
