Breakfast Hosts Sally & Erica Announce Triple J Departure

Triple J Breakfast hosts Sally Coleman and Erica Mallett have announced their departure from the station to "pursue other opportunities". 

The pair - who also perform as Coda Conduct - have hosted the program since the start of 2020, replacing Ben & Liam as they left for NOVA in Adelaide. 

Coleman and Mallett have been with the station for four years, hosting Weekend Arvos, Drive, Good Nights and Summer Arvos. 

"I'm so incredibly grateful to have spent the last four years as part of Australia's biggest family of music lovers," said Coleman. 

"It's been a wild ride - from a one-off guest slot with Matt & Alex to taking the reins of Breakfast ourselves. I've had so many pinch-myself moments, but the most amazing part of my time at triple j has been the audience. triple j listeners never fail to make me cackle, warm my heart and inspire me. I've loved waking up with you every morning - thank you for everything. I can't wait to show you what's next!”

"The weird thing about listening to triple j is that it makes you feel like you have tens of thousands of friends," said Mallett. 

"That’s exactly how I’ve felt for the last four years, being lucky enough to hear from you. Whether it’s just a song request on the text line, a call in to say hey, a story about your weekend or a dumb thing you did as a kid, I’ve loved every minute of the crazy, passionate energy that comes from the triple j audience. 

"Thank you for everything. It’s time for me to hang up the headphones for now and focus on other things (a little later in the day than 6am). I’ll catch you very soon."

Weekend Arvos presenter Bryce Mills will host Breakfast for the remainder of the year, with House Party host Ebony Boadu occasionally filling in. The new Breakfast host is expected to be announced soon.
