The breakfast session is probably the most important radio session for all types of radio stations across the globe. Listeners want to know what has been happening whilst they have been asleep, but they also like to be entertained in a bright and breezy manner as they prepare for the day ahead. Curtin FM is proud to have as its breakfast session host Peter Newman. Peter brings to the station a vast experience in Western Australian radio. Starting off in Perth in the mid 1960's as a 6PR "Good Guy" he has since worked in both commercial radio and for the A.B.C.

Calling on this experience, Peter knows what the right ingredients are to present an entertaining and informative breakfast session. From 5:30 to 09:00am he presents a skillful blend of the music that sets Curtin apart from the rest, interspersed with news and information gleaned from interstate and overseas, as well as comment on the major stories from Western Australia. There are scheduled news bulletins from Curtin's own newsroom every half hour from 06:00 as well as live crosses to Main Roads for traffic updates. Peter loves to interact with his listeners and he does this talking to them live to air when he conducts quizzes at approximately 07:20 and 08:20 - plus giving those same listeners the chance to win prizes.
Musical features include "The D.N.A. of rock and roll","Country threesome" and a daily "Classical" piece.

"Your Day By The Stars" can be heard at 07:55 followed by the latest in British football with scores from overnight games (August-May). Fridays between 07:35 and 07:55 sees a comprehensive A.F.L. preview with well known pundits and former players. (March-September)

Listen out too for Peter's occasional conversational guests, who you can be assured, will have something interesting to say.

 Chris Young

Chris Young from DJ Carmichael presents the stock market report in the breakfast show Monday to Friday, immediately after the 08:30 news. With his pleasant personality and dry humour he has become a popular  and well liked part of the programme.

Tom "The Cyclist" Archdeacon seems to cop more flack than Peter's other producer, Rob "The Tennis Player" Stirling. As a result it seems that Tom receives more sympathy from Peter's audience, and in response to many enquiries here is a photo of Tom. Judging by the stern look on Tom's face, the photo was probably taken after another roasting from Peter!!!

Football Tipping 2008 - The 2008 A.F.L. season is with us and as has become a recent tradition, Peter invites a panel of experts to join him on Friday mornings to discuss the weekend games and guide you with their tips. Now you can "put a face to the name" as we present the team for 2008.

"You Host The Show Competition" - As many of you are aware Peter recently ran a competition whereby a listener could host 2 hours of the Breakfast Show with our much loved money market expert, Chris Young. The segment proved to be very popular with listeners when it went to air on Wednesday 21st May. The winner was Maureen Scrouch of North Perth who brought along her daughter Jenette and Jenette's friend from U.W.A., Jillian. We have had an overwheming response to the segment, with most people wanting to know if it can happen again. As they say, stay tuned.......Thanks to Tom the Cyclist we have a photo from the day.

l to r Jennette, Jillian, Maureen, Chris. Scratching his head in wonderment as to what he had let himself in for, Peter
