History
McMahon and Whitelaw have hosted radio shows together in 2011, after being spotted by broadcaster Steve Vizard after performing at a law school revue in Melbourne. The pair were recruited as fill-in presenters for The Kyle & Jackie O Show, and were later heard nationally on the Today Network.[1]
In October 2013, McMahon and Whitelaw were appointed as presenters of 92.9 Perth's breakfast radio program, alongside Heidi Anderson. In addition to their Perth shows, the pair were also heard on Fox FM Melbourne's Saturday breakfast program, between January and August 2017.[2]
In August 2017, McMahon and Whitelaw departed Hit92.9 and its parent company, Southern Cross Austereo.[3] In October, Australian Radio Network announced the pair would move to Melbourne to succeed the Hughesy & Kate drive show on the KIIS Network, commencing 8 January 2018.[4][5] In February 2020, Australian Radio Network announced it had extended McMahon and Whitelaw's contract for three years.[6]
