Grant Denyer On 2DayFM Breakfast Show Rift: 'We Are Three Strangers Who Are Still Gelling'

2DayFM breakfast host Grant Denyer has discussed talks of tension amongst co-hosts Em Rusciano and Ed Kavalee, following reports some staff members on the show are actively seeking new work. 

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the former Family Feud presenter distanced himself from the rumours. 

"I try not to get involved in that at all, I turn up, bring my A game and try my hardest," Denyer said.

"Em is handling the situation herself… I think you will have to talk to her about that."

Regarding reports Rusciano and Kavalee are refusing to talk to each other off air, Denyer said, "(There are no tensions) not with me, I am good.

"We are three different personalities, we come at it from totally different angles. We are three strangers, who are still gelling."

2DayFM's latest breakfast experiment has managed to increase the network's ratings slightly in recent months, which has struggled to gain an audience since the departure of Kyle & Jackie O in 2014. 

The latest radio ratings, released in April, saw 2DayFM climb from the bottom of the FM ladder for the first time in quite a while.

Past breakfast teams who failed to bring in listeners since 2014 include Rove McManus and Sam Frost, Dan Debuf and Maz Compton and Jules Lund, Merrick Watts and Sophie Monk. 

"I want this to work, I am in it to win it," Denyer said of the show.

"The last four (teams) have failed.

"I know it is no small task to take a show which has been at the bottom and turn it around, but I am up for the challenge."

The third radio ratings for 2018 will be released next Tuesday.
