ZM drive time hosts Jase Hawkins and PJ Harding have announced they will be leaving the station at the end of this year in order to pursue new opportunities overseas.

NZME chief content officer Mike McClung confirmed the news, telling the Herald: “Following the huge success of their drive show on ZM, Jase & PJ will be taking up an opportunity overseas next year. These two hit the ground running; they had their listeners laughing from day one, which has translated into outstanding survey results.”

“They let us know some time ago that they were looking to work overseas which has allowed us to plan for their departure and we’re excited to be able to announce our new 2018 lineup very shortly.”

McClung went on to reveal the duo would remain on air until the end of the year, and the organisation was in talks with both hosts on plans to “keep them involved in the ZM family moving forward”.

Jase and PJ have been working together as radio hosts since 2015. A GFK radio survey released earlier this month revealed they were the most popular drive radio show with Kiwi millennials.
