Sarah Gandy, Sam Wallace and Toni Street's breakfast radio show is coming to the Bay of Plenty just six weeks after its successful launch.

From April 10, the Sarah, Sam and Toni show on The Hits will broadcast to most of the North Island, including on Bay of Plenty 95FM, Rotorua 97.5FM, Taupo 96.8FM and Gisborne 90.9FM.

NZME chief content officer Mike McClung said rolling the show out to additional markets was a natural progression.

"Sarah, Sam and Toni have brought an exciting fresh burst of fun, energy and warmth to breakfast radio in New Zealand. They've got great chemistry, are well known and loved by Kiwis and most importantly we know our listeners enjoy waking up with them each morning," he said.

Mr McClung said the Sarah, Sam and Toni show replaces Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama who have left The Hits and have not signed a new contract with NZME.

He paid tribute to departing announcers.

"Polly and Grant have had a fantastic run on radio but their relationship with NZME has now come to an end. They have both been a huge part of listeners' lives over many years and have certainly earned a memorable part in New Zealand broadcast history.

"We wish them all the best for the next stage of their careers and thank them for their incredible efforts."
