exited the show in August<\/a>.<\/p>\nArchie and Bretz first crossed paths in 2022 and went on to co-host breakfast radio at Power100 in Townsville, where they gained attention for their stunts, from collecting actual dirt from listeners to build a new \u2018mountain\u2019, to constructing a wall made of thousands of stubby coolers along the ocean, and even camping out in chairs for more than 24 hours to win cash for listeners.<\/p>\n
They went on to win Best Comedy Segment at the 2024 Australian Commercial Radio Awards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking in radio anywhere with your best mate is a pinch-yourself opportunity, but to step into the incredible show built by Todd and Sami is a genuine honour,\u201d Bretz said.<\/p>\n
\u201cArchie and I cannot wait to work day and night to build the same rapport and connection that Todd and Sami had with the Sunny Coast community.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a proud Queenslander, I\u2019m buzzing to be back in the sun and working with Archie, AB, Mark and the entire Mix team to build on the station\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Archie added: \u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited and humbled to be joining Mix FM drive alongside Henry Bretz on the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n
