Lucy Smith and Sosefina Fuamoli are the new presenters who will chat about music on ABC News Breakfast this year, the pair revealed on social media yesterday (12 February).
Smith, who you hear on triple j Mornings, will co-host the music segment alongside Fuamoli, an ABC Pacific/Radio Australia presenter and journalist for Rolling Stone Australia, The Australian, and more. The two follow in Zan Rowe’s footsteps, who stepped down from presenting on ABC News Breakfast after ten years in December.
Fuamoli will report from Melbourne and Smith from Sydney. Together, the pair will cover music news, the latest releases, tours, and industry news. You can tune into ABC News Breakfast on Wednesdays at 7:45 am.
On Instagram, Smith said of joining the News Breakfast team, “CAT’S OUT OF THE BAG – Sosefina Fuamoli and I are your Music News Correspondents on ABC News Breakfast (!!!)
“Stoked to be doing this with Sose. She’s a total pro - oozes cool and clarity in her presentation, brings the best out of her interview talent and deeply cares about our industry. She’ll be on the couch in Melbourne, while I’m down the line in Sydney.
“Thanks to Zan Rowe for creating this segment a decade ago and the News Breakfast team for being so supportive.”

Sharing a video where ABC News Breakfast co-hosts James Glenday and Bridget Brennan introduced the news of Fuamoli joining the team; she added, “Not the surprise hard launch!
“Looking forward to bringing you music goss with Lucy Smith on ABC News Breakfast this year. A privilege to carry the torch that @zanrowe kept lit and thriving for so many years.
“See ya every other week from 7:45 am with the wonderful Bridget and James!”
In December, Rowe told fans on social media: “As just announced on News Breakfast, I’m going to be winding up my weekly music news segment. I’ve been doing it for ten years! What is time?”
She continued, “It’s an idea that I pitched a decade ago. I’ve had such a good time doing it both in Sydney, remotely, and then on the couch in Melbourne when I moved back home.
“It’s just been amazing to bring music news but also music analysis, and discussions around what’s happening with artists these days who are having the hardest time, I think, in my living memory. It’s been a real pleasure and privilege to do that.”
