Abby Hopkins has been appointed as the new Announcer & Operations Manager at SCA\u2019s Hit 101.3 on the New South Wales Central Coast.<\/p>\n

Career-wise, Abby says it\u2019s a huge \u2018pinch me\u2019 moment. Literally, a dream role, at her dream station.<\/p>\n

Sharing her excitement on LinkedIn, the former Nowra-based ARN brekky announcer and digital specialist said there\u2019s something very special about broadcasting to the same community you grew up in.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom being the kid calling Brad Wood for prizes and laughing along with Bree & Daniel Gawned, to 3+ years of regional breakfast, it\u2019s been a whirlwind journey to get back to the station that started it all for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent years watching the magic of Nic Kelly, Michael Whittington, Jimi Love, Bobby Peters and Mike Duncan in action. Their talent was what kept me pushing for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all aware that in the current radio landscape, a job offer like this doesn\u2019t come easy. To be offered such an incredible role is something I do not take for granted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA huge thank you to Mike Crowhurst and Jase Allen, plus my mentor Kieran Hayes, for the belief and the opportunity. I am extremely excited to push myself, hone my craft on a music workday shift, and get stuck into the Ops side of the business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What’s New March 13, 2026 Abby Hopkins.
