Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small to leave NOVA Entertainment after 23 years

Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small has decided to leave NOVA Entertainment after 23 stellar years on the network.

In what is genuinely an ‘end of an era’ moment, Smallzy will sign-off one last time from Smallzy’s Surgery at the end of this week.

The numbers speak for themselves with the Surgery dominating its timeslot, having spent over 13 years and 92 surveys as the #1 choice for Australians.

Smallzy’s Surgery effectively invented the format in this country and, year after year, listeners have come to Nova FM every weekday evening for a unique take on pop culture, music news and celebrity gossip. All of this has been underpinned by the relationships Smallzy has built, and the unparalleled access he enjoys to the world’s biggest stars.

A word from the man himself:

“The time has come to hang up the headphones in Smallzy’s Surgery. What a ride. I’m so proud to have been part of the Nova network since the beginning. When I started the show, I never would have imagined getting to do the things I have done, from celebrity interviews, to Nova’s Red Room and travelling the globe covering the biggest events. They’ve all made the show something very, very special.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the show, including the wider NOVA team behind the scenes. I leave with fond memories, lifelong friendships, but most importantly I’m grateful to every single person who has ever chosen to spend their night with me.”

Smallzy will broadcast his final show this Friday 15th August from 8pm-10pm.

NOVA Entertainment would like to thank Smallzy and we wish him all the best for what comes next.
