The former head boy of Ashburton College has been a broadcasting legend since he was just 17! He made a splash on What Now? alongside Cath McPherson, keeping Kiwi kids entertained four years.

Si became a beloved voice of the More FM family for over two decades before taking a six-year detour into the world of talkback radio. Now, he’s back where he belongs, bringing the fun and familiarity you know and love.

Lana Cochrane-Searle is the wife of Katie and a ‘cool stepmum’ to their young son Jay.

Originally from Dargaville, she’s a down-to-earth Kiwi chick who’ll always wear shorts no matter the weather!

She’s obsessed with the Warriors, planes, the Titanic and abandoned places. She’s smart, quick-witted and the life of the party!

She represented More FM in 2021's Celebrity Treasure Island, and 2023's Treasure Island: Fans v Faves. Unfortunately, she didn't win either season, but she was close!

Bondy (our Phone Guy) is the most loyal man you’ll ever meet, he's been with More FM for over 20 years!

From Oamaru, he’s a family man with two loud boys and a wife who wears the pants.

He’s a total failure at anything to do with DIY, but is always the first to put his hand up to help out.

He’s even one of the leaders at his kids' scouts group and also coaches sport. He’s a total greaser and will say anything to keep the bosses happy.

Meet Speedy, our tech-savvy More FM producer who is often confused for a 50-year-old man.

Born in Nelson, he is the meanest, stingiest, thriftiest tight arse we have.

He’s useless with sport and considers himself more of an ‘Arty Thespian’.

Outside of work you’ll probably find him singing karaoke at your local pub. Eternally single as he believes dating is too expensive.
