History

Dave O'Neil was formerly a presenter of the show from its inception in 2001, when it was known as Hughesy, Kate & Dave, but in July 2006 he moved to the breakfast show on Vega 91.5 (now smoothfm 91.5). Tim Blackwell replaced O'Neil although his name was not credited in the show's title.

In 2009, Ed Kavalee, formerly of The Wrong Way Home drive show with Akmal Saleh and Cal Wilson, replaced Tim Blackwell as silent anchor.

In August 2009, Carrie Bickmore announced that she was leaving Nova 100 to focus on her role at The 7PM Project and spend time with her son. Bickmore finished at Nova 100 on 25 September 2009 with Lauren Brain replacing her.

In December 2011, Ed Kavalee resigned to focus on TV and film work along with Jeff Tyler. Ian Cohen replaced Tyler and Daniel Gawned was announced as Kavalee's replacement for the beginning of 2012, although in July Gawned was replaced by Dan Anstey, formerly of "Dan & Leon", who was moved down from Nova 100.3's sister station Nova 106.9 in Brisbane.

On 10 September 2013, Hughes and Langbroek announced that will be leaving Nova 100 after 12 years with the final show on Friday 29 November.

In October 2013, it was announced that comedian Tommy Little and drive presenter Meshel Laurie will replace Hughes and Langbroek.

Mick Molloy, Peter Hellier, Gretel Killeen, Livinia Nixon and Jane Hall all filled in for Kate Langbroek when she has been away or on maternity leave.
