Jono & Dano hit the airwaves this Australia Day

20 Jan 2009

Jonathan ‘Jono’ Coleman and Ian ‘Dano’ Rogerson will kick-off their new weekday drive-time programme, The Jono & Dano Show, with some of Australia’s biggest music legends this Australia Day.

Over three hours, the launch show special, Jono & Dano’s Homegrown Heroes, will be jam-packed with classic hits and interviews.

Music greats celebrating Jono & Dano’s return to radio on the Classic Hits Network include Jimmy Barnes, Richard Clapton, INXS’ Kirk Pengilly, Hoodoo Gurus, Rob Hirst, Ian Moss, Jon Stevens, Doc Neeson, John Paul Young, Iva Davies, James Reyne, Mental As Anything, Daryl Braithwaite, Mark Gable from The Choirboys, Diesel, Dragon, Ross Wilson and Eric McCusker from Mondo Rock, with many treating listeners to an acoustic performance.

“The boys are back in town and what a perfect way to start the show…great mates and great music, celebrating this great country!” said Jono.

“Australia Day is about celebrating this great, big brown land, and what better way for people to kick-back than with us playing Aussie classics, talking to the people who made them,” Dano said.

After more than twenty years apart, radio’s own homegrown heroes have reunited to share the music and stories of a generation, together with even more special guests, exciting promotions and a fresh dose of laughs.

Thanks to a collaboration between mcm media, the producers of the show, and the Australian Radio Network (ARN), ‘The Jono & Dano Show’ will be on-air Monday to Friday, 4pm to 7pm on WSFM (Sydney), GOLD 104 (Melbourne) and 5pm to 8pm on 4KQ (Brisbane), as well as on an extensive regional network of stations across Australia.

Peter Yiamarelos, Group Program Director of the Australian Radio Network (ARN), says
“Jono & Dano are two genuinely good fun blokes who’ve grown up with our listeners. In these turbulent economic times, we’re delighted to be able to bring these guys back together and provide some light-hearted entertainment to go with the great classic hits for the drive home.”
