History

In September 2013, Southern Cross Austereo announced Sophie Monk and Dave Thornton as hosts of Weekend Breakfast with Michael Christian (MC) as anchor.[2] Monk and Thornton finished on Weekend Breakfast in December 2013 both moving to new roles on the network. Dave Thornton now hosts Fifi & Dave on Fox FM in Melbourne and Sophie Monk hosted Breakfast on 2Day FM in 2014 but has since left the station to make way for The Dan & Maz Show in 2015.

In January 2014, Southern Cross Austereo announced that the show will be returning with new hosts, former Fox FM breakfast co-host Jo Stanley, former SAFM breakfast co-host Michael Beveridge and Fox FM morning announcer Byron Cooke.[3]

In December 2014, Byron Cooke was appointed Sea FM Central Coast breakfast host and as a result left the show. [4]

In October 2015, Southern Cross Austereo announced that The Dan & Maz Show would replace Weekend Breakfast from 2016.
