Nova 100’s Breakfast program “Jase & Lauren” has officially been renamed to include Clint Stanaway, after years as the show’s newsreader and third voice.
The updated name – “Jase, Lauren & Clint” – launched on air this morning, reflecting Stanaway’s expanded role alongside Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips on the Melbourne-based program, as the station looks to consolidate a top-performing Breakfast lineup.
Stanaway, who has been part of the show for several years, said the move marked a significant milestone in his career. “It’s both incredibly humbling and a really proud moment for me. Jase and Lauren have been so supportive throughout my career, and I’m genuinely grateful to them, to Nova and to the listeners who’ve backed me every step of the way.”
Phillips said the change reflects the existing chemistry between the trio. “Our show has always been built on the friendship between the three of us, so this change makes perfect sense. It’s been a long time coming, and this is a really special and proud moment for our show.”
Hawkins added: “Saying ‘Clint’s here too’ multiple times a morning really chews up airtime, so the name change just makes sense,” he said.
“Jokes aside, I couldn’t imagine this show without Clint. We’ve become great mates over the years, and I’m so proud of him. His contribution takes our show to a whole other level, and he absolutely deserves this recognition.”
Nova Network’s Group Programming Director Brendan Taylor said the update acknowledges Stanaway’s contribution to the show’s ongoing success. “Jase, Lauren and Clint have become one of Nova’s strongest and most consistent breakfast teams in the country.

“Clint’s inclusion in the show name recognises his impact, his connection with the audience and the role he plays in the ongoing success of Nova 100’s Breakfast show,” he added.
The “Jase & Lauren” show originated on KIIS in 2021 and became the second-highest rating Breakfast show, with Stanaway as newsreader. But in 2024, it was announced they would not return to the airwaves, to make room for “The Kyle & Jackie O” show’s expansion into Melbourne. Nova swiftly picked it up, with Stanaway completing the lineup once again.
“Jase, Lauren & Clint” airs weekdays from 6am to 9am on Nova 100 in Melbourne, with a national weekend broadcast from 8am to 10am via the Nova Player.
