History

In November 2020, Southern Cross Austereo announced that The Marty Sheargold Show [1] would replace The Hot Breakfast in 2021 after Eddie McGuire and Luke Darcy decided to end the show at the end of 2020 after 11 years. [2] Sheargold was part of Nova's national drive show, Kate, Tim & Marty until September 2020 when he departed the show. [3]

In July, 2024 Sheargold announced he would be stepping down from the breakfast shift due to his stand-up comedy and TV commitments. The show continued in the afternoon slot between 3-4pm as a pre-recorded show. [4] In November of the same year, it was announced that the show would be expanded to the drive slot on Triple M Sydney and Triple M Brisbane from 3-6pm. The first hour of the show would remain on-air for the rest of the country before they switched to The Rush Hour with JB and Billy. It meant he would take on his former Nova show now called Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel in these markets.

The show has an extra content that they only have on their podcast including a on this day and listener feedback segments. It also has regular segments on their normal show including Top 3 at 3, What’s on the back page and Three way quiz.

In February 2025, Sheargold mutually agreed with Southern Cross Austereo to come off-air due to comments that were broadly perceived as sexist. [5] The final show, in which Sheargold made the sexist comments aired on 25 February 2025.
