Radio and podcast presenter (and self-proclaimed music “superfan”) Nic Kelly is the host of a new show on The Hit Network, leading Southern Cross Austereo’s new weekend programming.
On Saturday evenings from 5 to 7 pm, listeners can tune in to The Hot Hits with Nic Kelly, a show that allows the presenter to bring his extensive knowledge to a dedicated music program. The show is set to provide music news, interviews with artists and industry figures, and, of course, the airing of hot new tracks.
In a press release discussing the move, Kelly commented, “It has been a lifelong goal of mine to create a music-focused national radio show. Music is a never-ending search for something that connects to you; it’s a universal language.”
Kelly added that some of his excitement stems from the “rich, diverse” Australian music scene, and he can’t wait to “chat with incredible homegrown artists and spotlight their new music each week alongside the big international hits that matter.”
In addition to Kelly hosting The Hot Hits, The Hit Network has announced the programming of another new weekend show, Lucy & Nikki, which will air on Saturday nights from 7 to 9 pm.
Lucy Jackson and Nikki Westcott – who you might know from the popular Happy Hour with Lucy & Nikki podcast – promise to deliver a ripper playlist, laughs and “unfiltered” banter.
