6IX introduces new Breakfast team and outlines strategy to be ‘Perth’s radio station’ in 2016
Forever Classic 6IX provided the perfect antidote to Perth’s record heatwave with a function at South of Perth Yacht Club last night.
Guests enjoyed drinks and canapés at a riverside marquee before General Manager Evan Broadway outlined the station’s plans for this year and introduced new Breakfast team Maddie Burke and Tim Gossage. Also there were new special contributors to 6IX’s line-up Lisa Fernandez and Tom Percy QC.
Broadway, who has come from Melbourne’s top-rating 3AW, said he wants 6IX to be “Perth’s Radio Station” with local identities and announcers in all key dayparts. Besides Fernandez and Percy, weekly regular guests in Breakfast will include Aussie and WA netball star Nat Medhurst plus the West Coast Eagles’ Jeremy McGovern and Fremantle Dockers’ Lachie Neale.
OMD’s Jess Johansson was the lucky winner of the fabulous door prize – a trip for two to Kosciusko Chalet Hotel in the Charlotte Pass ski fields.

Great to see 1080 6iX with a great format and new Breakfast crew. The station is certainly coming into its own, which down the track should reflect on the ratings.
Well done to Madelaine Burke who has come through from a novice originally with 6iX and her News stint at Nova to take a role as an announcer. Great to acknowledge the fine work and articulate tones of Leo Nelson.
I wish the station much success in the launch of the new line-ups and sound.
“Good Times, Great Music and Forever Classic.”
