Nova 100's breakfast programme 'Jase & Lauren' has been officially renamed to 'Jase, Lauren & Clint', reflecting newsreader Clint Stanaway's expanded role. The change took effect on air this morning, recognising Stanaway's long-standing contribution as the show's third voice alongside Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips.
Stanaway described the move as a proud milestone. 'It’s both incredibly humbling and a really proud moment for me. Jase and Lauren have been so supportive throughout my career, and I’m genuinely grateful to them, to Nova and to the listeners who’ve backed me every step of the way,' he said.
Lauren Phillips noted that the trio's existing chemistry made the change natural. 'Our show has always been built on the friendship between the three of us, so this change makes perfect sense. It’s been a long time coming, and this is a really special and proud moment for our show.' Jase Hawkins added, 'Saying “Clint’s here too” multiple times a morning really chews up airtime, so the name change just makes sense.'
Nova Network's Group Programming Director Brendan Taylor said the update acknowledges Stanaway's impact. 'Jase, Lauren and Clint have become one of Nova’s strongest and most consistent breakfast teams in the country. Clint’s inclusion in the show name recognises his impact, his connection with the audience and the role he plays in the ongoing success of Nova 100’s Breakfast show.'
The show originally launched on KIIS in 2021 and became the second-highest rating breakfast programme, with Stanaway as newsreader. After KIIS dropped it in 2024 to make way for 'The Kyle & Jackie O' show's expansion into Melbourne, Nova quickly picked it up with Stanaway completing the lineup. 'Jase, Lauren & Clint' airs weekdays from 6am to 9am on Nova 100 in Melbourne, with a national weekend broadcast from 8am to 10am via the Nova Player.
