DUMPED Triple M radio star Luke Bradnam is going to be back on Gold Coast airwaves next year with a primetime show.

His afternoon Luke Bradnam Show on Triple M which is also broadcast on 92.5 Gold FM comes to an end on Friday. But it can be revealed he will return on air next year in a new show with 92.5 Gold FM.

Sources have confirmed a deal is all but done with Bradnam seen at Gold FM’s Broadbeach station HQ as recently as yesterday morning.

Bradnam wouldn’t comment when approached yesterday but the Bulletin has been told he will join Margaux Parker for what’s tipped to be a new Drive time afternoon show.

His radio career has been in limbo since the Bulletin revealed in September his Triple M show’s looming demise.

At the time, a bullish Bradnam who is also a Channel 9 presenter, said it wouldn’t be “the last of Luke Bradnam”.

Gold Coast radio broadcaster Luke Bradnam has been keeping himself busy including a successful trek to Everest Base Camp.

Radio industry insiders say the rumours of Bradnam’s return have his former paymasters at Hot Tomato - where he previously had a top-rating show - on edge in lieu of the afternoon market competition.

One industry source aware of Bradnam’s pending return for Gold FM told the Bulletin it was a great move by the station: “It’s a good thing. He knows the town.

“If a seagull takes a poop somewhere, Bradnam knows about it. He knows the locals. He does talk too much sometimes but I think him and Margaux are a good combination.”

Parker is Bradnam’s co-host on Triple M with Ben ‘Dobbo’ Dobson who is understood not to be joining them next year on 92.5 Gold FM.

Gold FM and Triple M are all part of the Southern Cross Auste-reo commercial radio stable. The Melbourne-based Kennedy Molloy show is replacing Bradnam’s Triple M afternoon show.
