Nova 96.9

One of the driving forces behind the creation of Nova was the growing demographic of youth who were embracing the commercialised anti-pop movement fronted by such artists as Daft Punk and Spiderbait, but for whom Triple J, operated by the publicly funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation, had no commercial incentives to offer.


Fitzy and Wippa

In August 2011, it was announced that Fitzy & Wippa would move to Nova 96.9 breakfast and replacing Merrick Watts and Scott Dooley.

Ryan Shelton left Nova to focus on his television career and Katie Dimond (Monty) moved to Sydney to join Merrick Watts and Scott Dooley at Nova 96.9 on the breakfast show.

Ryan Fitzgerald

In October 2010, Fitzgerald announced that he would be leaving Nova 91.9 Breakfast to be a part of Nova's drive show Fitzy and Wippa, which then became the Nova 96.9 Sydney breakfast show.
