The battle of breakfast radio has taken another turn with Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips adding Melbourne star power to their Nova FM show.

Demon champion Christian Petracca is set to be a footy season regular on the reborn show and popular media identity Clint Stanaway inked a deal on Tuesday to join his former KIIS FM colleagues on-air.

Stanaway, who was part of the Jase and Lauren show during its time on KIIS FM, will join Hawkins and Phillips when they launch their Nova era on Friday.

“I did it (the show at KIIS) for two and a half years and really enjoyed it. I would have immense FOMO if I wasn’t part of this team now it is at NOVA,” Stanaway said.

“I am just so pleased to be here now. It feels the same, but it feels better; it feels right.”

Stanaway said being part of the team when it was axed from KIIS Melbourne and then signing with Nova had been an emotional rollercoaster.

“We stopped late November with a few tears, but we had happy tears, crying with laughter, a few days ago,” he said.

“It was good.”

Hawkins said the addition of Stanaway had the show feel whole.

“Clint is not coming over as a newsreader, he is coming over as a third host, he is one third in this team and the show is not as good without him,” Hawkins said.

Phillips added: “Our names might be on the poster, but the show is very much the three of us.”

Phillips said the Jase and Lauren Show would not be looking to score cheap shots against its breakfast radio competitors.

“We are not really interested in competing with anyone else, to be honest,” Phillips said.

“We just want to keep doing our own thing, have a few laughs along the way, enjoy each other’s company and enjoy the mornings.”

Hawkins said the show felt supported at its new radio home.

“I would say we feel supported. It just feels a bit easier,” he said.

“We got the support of Melbourne, we got to number 2 (at KIIS Melbourne), we had one photo in three years, we had to fight to get anything and now we are fully supported.

“It is exciting what’s ahead, it is totally different.”
