ZM has signed Australian radio and TV stars Hamish Blake and Andy Lee as the new hosts of its early morning breakfast show.

The comedy duo will take to the airwaves every weekday at 5am for a one-hour show from Tuesday. The ZM Breakfast Show with Fletch, Vaughan & Megan will remain in its 6am slot.

"Hamish and Andy are world-class talent that I'm thrilled to have joining our weekday line-up on ZM," chief content officer for NZME radio Gemma Fordham told Spy.

"Having known the guys for a while, we had been throwing around ideas and where we've landed is a huge coup for us. Hamish and Andy continue to be one of the top-charted podcasts by Kiwis, so we know there is a massive loyal audience that exists and the guys are genuinely excited to be talking to their Kiwi fans daily now."

While the radio show will be recorded in Australia, Spy hears the stars are planning to visit New Zealand very soon. Watch this space.
