Jase and Lauren Reveal Exciting Show Changes!

Jason Hawkins and Lauren Phillips have announced a major change for their  radio breakfast slot.

The Nova 100 program will now be known as Jase, Lauren and Clint after newsreader Clint Stanaway was 'officially' added to the lineup.

Stanaway, who joined the popular duo's Jase and Lauren show in March 2024, struggled to hold back tears as his mates discussed the rebrand. 

'I'm so overwhelmed,' the 43-year-old said, after listening to a special segment that recapped his two years on the show.

He continued, 'I mean, Lauren knows me better than anyone else, and how easily and quickly do I get overwhelmed in situations like this?'

The former Channel Nine stalwart, who departed the network in November 2025 after 25 years to focus on his radio career, has been a hit with listeners, a fact that Phillips said influenced the rebrand.

'It's something Jase and I have wanted for a long time, but it is certainly something that Melbourne has wanted for a long time,' she said, adding that listeners often ask her about putting Stanaway's name on the show.

She continued, 'I mean, look at our social media. It's mentioned every single day, so it's the greatest thing that could happen to this show.'

During the program, Hawkins joked that people have been 'spray painting' the words 'where's Clint?' on posters advertising their breakfast show around Melbourne.

'Well, look, it started, we were up at four o'clock in the morning, in the middle of the night, sneaking around, graffitiing our own marketing campaign,' Phillips added.

Nova later shared footage of the breakfast radio trio sharing hugs in the studio after making the announcement. 

'Our show has always been built on the friendship between the three of us, so this change makes perfect sense,' Phillips said in a statement.

'Saying "Clint's here too" multiple times a morning really chews up airtime, so the name change just makes sense,' Hawkins joked.

Stanaway announced his exit from Channel Nine last September.
