Triple J have today dropped the details for their 2020 presenter line-up.
Lucy Smith is set to takeover Mornings from outgoing host Linda Marigliano. Smith is currently looking after the Breakfast slot following the departure of Ben & Liam earlier this month.
"I’m so unbelievably excited to spend each weekday flexing my music muscle and diving a little deeper into the tunes you’re hearing on triple j, plus the stories from the artists behind them," said Smith.

"I’m looking forward to joining the triple j fam, spinning the best tunes and playing Treaty by Yothu Yindi at every possible opportunity," shared Woodhead.
Journalist Avani Dias is setting up to host Hack after filling in for Tom Tilley throughout 2019.
"When I was a teenager, I’d write cheesy lines in my diary about how obsessed I was with triple j and wanting to be on the station," said Dias. "I’ve grown up with Hack. It’s guided me through life, taught me what I should know about the world, and in many ways made me the person I am today.
"So, you can imagine how proud and excited I am to be taking over the only show in Australia which always puts young people at the front and centre of every conversation."
Bryce Mills is set to takeover Weekend Arvos from Sally & Erica when they set into the Breakfast slot.
