Andy Grace

Andy Grace (born 24 July 1970 in Melbourne, Australia) is a commercial radio broadcaster and computer software developer.

He started his career in 1995 on FOX FM Melbourne, but became best known for the national Net@Nite IT and computer talkback radio show, networked to all the Today's Austereo Network stations around Australia.

The show ran for five years until 2000 at which point he moved to Melbourne's TTFM to present the night show, which he took to number one.

Grace left Australia in 2001 to host the national net2nite show across the United States and returned in 2002 to take up a position on Sydney's then newest radio station Nova 96.9. He also rated number one in both afternoon and evening timeslots on that station according to the commercial radio industry's Nielsen ratings system.

From 2005 until mid-2007 he joined Triple M as the station's floater, but left to take up the position of breakfast anchor for the resurgent Mix 106.5 Sydney, joining Seven Network personalities Sonia Kruger and Todd McKenney in 2008.

In September 2009 the Sonia and Todd Breakfast show was axed. From 2010 until 2012, Grace hosted The Andy Grace Night Show on WSFM and Gold 104.3.

In 2012, Andy was on DMG's SmoothFM in Sydney and Melbourne, previously called 91.5 (Melbourne) and 95.3 (Sydney).

From 2012 onwards, Andy has been developing software for media companies and television.

He is married to Eloise Grace (formerly Eloise Gentle), an actor, model and former lawyer and TV news reporter. Andy is father of Alissa, James and Will Grace.
