ARN has appointed Kate Meade as Executive Producer for Mix 102.3’s The Ali Clarke Breakfast Show.

On announcing the appointment, ARN Chief Content Officer Duncan Campbell said: “I’m thrilled to have Kate join the Adelaide team, bringing a wealth of experience and skill around content creation across all our platforms for Mix 102.3. Kate brings an energy, positivity and can-do attitude to everything she does, and I’m looking forward to a huge year ahead.”

Of her new role, Kate Meade said: “I am absolutely stoked to be joining Ali and the team in Adelaide. Ali has an unstoppable energy and passion for everything Adelaide. This will be the team to watch in 2023.”
During her career, Kate has won a number of Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) as both a radio host and producer. Other career highlights include being named a finalist for both the B&T Women in Media Awards and the Australian Financial Review’s 100 Women of Influence. Kate is also the founder and creator of The Victorian Dance Festival – a recipient of the Best Arts and Cultural Event in Victoria for the Australian Industry Events Awards.
Kate Meade starts her new role as Executive Producer on December 12. Ali Clarke and the rest of the on-air team – Shane Lowe, Eddie Bannon, Maria Gaban and the recently announced Max Burford – return to air in January 2023.
