3AW is excited to unveil the first stage in a revamped line up for its No. 1 AFL coverage.  

Jacqui Felgate, one of Melbourne’s best known broadcasters across TV and radio, will join 3AW’s leading footy commentary and analysis team in 2023.

Felgate will be joined by returning favourites Matthew Lloyd, Jimmy Bartel, Leigh Matthews, Caroline Wilson, Tim Lane and a host of others, as 3AW takes back control of its AFL content and commercialisation from SEN. 

After stints filling in on 3AW Breakfast and Afternoons, Felgate is delighted to be joining 3AW.

“I grew up listening to 3AW footy while standing with my mum in the outer at Kardinia Park,” she said.

“I’ve loved filling in over recent months and I’m delighted to be able to talk footy with our listeners next season. It really is a privilege to work alongside such experienced and talented broadcasters.” 

Further, Sam McClure will be the inaugural host of 3AW’s Wide World of Sports radio program, set to debut Wednesday, November 2 at 6.00pm. It will become the new home of everything footy and sport related in Melbourne. 

Wide World of Sports will launch two new AFL Podcasts in 2023, featuring 3AW’s stellar line up of commentators and analysts for the best in-depth discussion about AFL. 

Ash Earnshaw, Nine’s Director of Sales, Total Audio, said: “Nine continues to invest in market leading talent with different voices, providing advertisers new ways to connect with engaged sport audiences.  Across Total Audio at Nine, Wide World of Sports continues to be a focus as a platform for brands across live radio, live stream and podcasts where we are growing year on year. It is exciting to bring our  live and local AFL content to sports fans, as part of our national Wide World of Sports brand footprint.”
