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, news presenter 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.
