After rocking the Perth radio scene on Monday with an on-air announcement of his departure from 96FM\u2019s top-rating breakfast show, Dean Clairs dropped another bombshell on Friday when he and co-host Lisa Shaw revealed Clairsy\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n

Russell Clarke will step into one of the most coveted gigs in Perth radio, at the city\u2019s No.1 station, joining Shaw from Monday.<\/p>\n

Clarke is a familiar voice for 96FM listeners, having previously hosted the Afternoons show at the station before departing earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to returning to 96FM, after a little time off, and working again with Lisa, who I have known for many years,\u201d Clarke told The West Australian.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also looking forward to reconnecting with 96FM\u2019s listeners, and, together with Lisa, getting the day underway, with just great songs and plenty of laughs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw said the departure of Clairsy was like saying goodbye to a brother, but she and Clarke \u201cgo way back\u201d, so it was like reuniting with her \u201cother brother\u201d.<\/p>\n

The all-new Lisa & Russell show will feature an increased dose of listener favourite Adrian Barich, with the Seven News sports guru upping his on-air presence to appear on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.<\/p>\n

West Coast Eagle Elliot Yeo and Fremantle Docker Hayden Young and the other regular guests from the Clairsy & Lisa Show will also be returning.<\/p>\n

The Lisa & Russell show airs from 6am Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After rocking the Perth radio scene on Monday with an on-air announcement of his departure from 96FM\u2019s top-rating…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136,45],"class_list":{"0":"post-69067","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-wa-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
