Billy Brownless and James Brayshaw to replace Mick Molloy

Mick Molloy is set to be replaced on Triple M’s important Drive shift by a radio pair with a very sporty feel.

Billy Brownless has booted a winning goal with his radio career with his Triple M show being drop punted into one of the station’s most important shifts.

Brownless and James Brayshaw will replace Mick Molloy as Triple M’s Drive team next year.

Molloy announced last week he would not be continuing with his national Drive show in 2022.

Triple M has taken a ‘local first’ approach to replacing the Molloy show, choosing to move its Rush Hour program from its early evening slot to the 4pm – 6pm Drive shift.

Brownless and Brayshaw have been hosting The Rush Hour for 11 years.

Mick Molloy is leaving Triple M to pursue other challenges.

King of Geelong, Brownless, who pulled the pin on his TV career in October after 27 years, will use his broad shoulders to continue to carry Brayshaw as the show settles into its Drive lane next year.

Brayshaw described The Rush Hour as “an 11 year show based on nothing.”

“When Bill and I started The Rush Hour in 2010 we had no idea what the show was going to be about – we still have no idea 11 years later,” he said.

“Bill’s got properly ahead of himself in recent times, when we start early next year I’m going to have to pull him back into line.”

Molloy said his decision to end his time with Triple M was so he could pursue “new creative challenges.”
