NOVA Entertainment announced that radio and TV personality Matt Baseley will join Gina Jeffreys as Star 104.5’s new breakfast team in 2024. Gina & Matty will be waking up the Central Coast from January 15.

Matt’s been no stranger to NOVA Entertainment, starting his career with the Merrick & Rosso Breakfast Show in 2003 on the newly launched Nova 96.9, and staying within the network for the next decade. Most recently, Matt hosted the Maz & Matty Breakfast Show on the Hit NSW Regional Network.

“This is my 21st year in radio and to be able to come home to NOVA Entertainment to celebrate is so special,” Matt says.

“My first proper show in a radio studio was here at Star 104.5 doing Sunday nights, so to come full circle and be waking up with the people of the Central Coast on breakfast, sitting next to the one and only Gina Jefferys, is a dream come true!”

Gina Jefferys became the host of Star 104.5’s breakfast show in 2022, after being a regular guest on the show and co-hosting the Cancer Council’s “Stars of the Central Coast” from 2014 to 2023. The multi-award-winning singer burst on the music scene in 1991 and quickly became the face of Australian country music. Almost 30 years after it all began, Gina is still wowing crowds on stage and behind the scenes, mentoring and penning chart-topping songs for the next generation.

Gina said of her new co-host, “I’m so excited that Matty’s back on the Central Coast and going to be joining me each morning as we wake up with our amazing listeners. We’re so lucky to have this job and I can't wait to share it with him.”

Gina & Matty give you everything you need to start your day, with their fun banter and light-hearted chat, combined with Star 104.5’s promise of More Music Variety.
