Xavier Ellis and Katie Lamb have signed a multi-year deal with 92.9 Triple M, continuing their run as hosts of Triple M Perth’s Breakfast show.
In announcing the news this morning, SCA said that since launching in 2024, Triple M’s Xav & Katie show has struck a chord with local listeners, recently delivering the best-ever Breakfast result in Triple M Perth’s history with a 13.4% share in GfK Survey 4 and the strongest on the 92.9 frequency since 2010.
Xav said “People receive medals for winning races, returning from war and working multiple years with Katie Lamb. It’s a privilege to speak daily with our friends throughout Perth every morning and I’m so happy to be able to extend that into the future. I can’t wait to meet Katie’s beautiful daughter and beyond that, I’m excited to spend each morning with Katie next year.”
Katie said “Really excited to lock in a few more years at Triple M with Xav and his four nipples!”
“I’ve loved working on the breakfast show so far, so many laughs on and off the air, it makes those 4am alarm clocks totally worth it! Can’t wait to return next year with plenty more content being a new Mum, any advice and guidance from our listeners will be welcome as I literally have no idea what I’m doing.”
“Looking forward to more people joining in on the banter with X-man and me for your morning commute!”
It’s been a huge few days for Katie and her fiance Martene Pearman, who on Saturday welcomed a baby girl: Charlie Jules Lamb-Pearman.
James Speed, Group Content Director Perth SCA, said: “Since joining forces in 2024, Xav & Katie have taken off in the breakfast slot. Their genuine friendship and chemistry are unreal, it’s like listening to a bunch of mates having a laugh, and the audience is loving it. The show’s already made its mark in the market, and we’re only just getting started.”
“Today’s announcement is a reflection of how much belief we have in this team and where they’re headed. They’ve already delivered some outstanding results, and the momentum is building. Triple M’s made a real statement in 2025, the ratings tell us Perth is on board, and we’re pumped to keep delivering local content that hits home. We’re also focused on working closely with our clients and partners to achieve genuine, long-term success together.”
Katie will return to the show in 2026 following parental leave. In the meantime, Dani Shuey will continue to join Xav in the Triple M studio each morning from 5:30am.
