Triple J's Matt & Alex To Call It Quits At The End Of 2016

After almost two years together on air as triple j's breakfast hosts, Matt Okine and Alex Dyson have announced they'll be calling it a day at the end of the year.

The duo will do their last show together on Friday, 16 December.

After ten years at the station, including a very successful run with former co-host and comic, Tom Ballard, Dyson has announced plans to travel the globe. 

"After spending over a third of my life at triple j, I felt it was time to give someone else a go while I travel the world, do a bit of writing and wean myself off my addiction to new Australian music," Dyson said. 

Meanwhile, Okine will focus on his TV career moving forward, as well as his music project, Boilermakers. 

"Before radio I actually studied an acting degree, so I figured I’d wait until my looks and hair had completely deteriorated before moving to the small screen."

Triple J Content Director, Ollie Wards, paid tribute to the departing presenters. 

"As soon as I wake up I hit the triple j app to hear what Matt & Alex are talking about," Wards said.

"Not because I have to, I’m genuinely a massive fan. From ludicrous talkback like ‘what’ve you eaten for stuff?’, wtf moments to learning about space – triple j breakfast has been an awesome ride with Matt & Alex. I can’t wait to see what they do next."

Matt & Alex will make their final public appearance at the fan-favourite Matt & Alex Legend Of The Year Awards, featuring the show's best listener contributions from the year.
