Get ready, Adelaide! The SAFM breakfast show is shaking things up in 2026, promising a fresh start filled with laughter, engaging conversations, and compelling content to kickstart your mornings.
Starting on January 19th, the revamped show, now titled ‘Bel, Bernie, & Emma G’, will be on air every weekday from 6 am to 9 am. This exciting lineup blends familiar voices with new energy, ensuring a vibrant start to your day.
Returning from maternity leave, Emma Georgiadis, fondly known as Emma G, brings renewed energy and a treasure trove of stories from her journey into motherhood. Her presence has been a staple in Adelaide's morning routines, and her comeback is highly anticipated. Joining her is Bernie Vince, the former AFL star turned media personality. Bernie's smooth transition from the sports field to radio has been a hit, thanks to his relatable humor and captivating storytelling.
And here's where it gets exciting: Joining them permanently is Bel Sloane, a rising star in radio who has quickly won over Adelaide listeners. Bel, also known as the wife of AFL star Rory Sloane, has a natural talent for broadcasting that resonates with the audience. Her temporary stint during Emma's maternity leave was a huge success, thanks to her relatable charm and witty banter, making her an instant favorite and securing her permanent spot on the show.
Bernie Vince shared his excitement, saying, “I’ve missed my mate G, and I know listeners have too, so I’m excited to have her back in 2026. It’s been awesome having Bel step in while Emma was on leave, she’s done an amazing job, and I’m stoked she’s staying on. Together, we’re going to create something special next year. With two fantastic women, mums and friends by my side, I can’t wait to see what we’ll offer our listeners in 2026. I can’t wait to get started”.
Emma G expressed her enthusiasm about rejoining the team, stating, “After some precious time with my newborn, I’m excited to get back into it with the SAFM family. I’ve missed our listeners and can’t wait to switch the 4am wake ups from feeds to fun! I’m looking forward to bringing fresh energy and ideas with Bernie and Bel to create something exciting for Adelaide.”
Bel Sloane added, “I never imagined I’d get used to 4am alarms, but here we are! I am so thrilled that Bern, Emma and the team have invited me to stay on and make this permanent. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these past few months, learning not only about radio but also getting to know this amazing city and its people better. But what’s been even more special is showing my kids that there’s more to me than just being their mum.”
