Following their successful launch in Auckland Sarah Gandy, Sam Wallace and Toni Street will expand their new breakfast show on The Hits, to 13 new regions throughout the North Island from Monday, April 10.

NZME chief content officer, Mike McClung says rolling the show out to additional markets is 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."

Toni Street isa popular television personality, on TVNZ's Seven Sharp. Sam Wallace brought the weather on TVNZ's Breakfast for six years until he decided in 2016 that his future was on radio. Longstanding radio personality Sarah Gandy hosted The Hits morning show in 2016, after a 10-year career with ZM.

"Our first month together on air has been so much fun, Toni says. "We all get on great and I'm so excited that our show is heading into these other towns and cities, especially my home province of Taranaki." The show replaces Polly and Grant.

"Polly and Grant have had a fantastic run on radio but their relationship with NZME has now come to an end," McClung says.

"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".

Listeners in Taranaki are currently able to tune in to a breakfast show hosted by Dave Fitzgerald and 'Dangerous' Dave Rybinski until April 10.
