Rex Simpson - Breakfast Announcer

The infectious laugh, the charisma, the passion, the breakfast show like no other. Ever since his arrival from the deep South, Rex has livened up the morning around the Peninsula with his wit and humour. Adding a more “local” flavour to the Coromandel FM breakfast show means more people get to have their say. Rex’s years in radio and theatre mean that every day is a new episode and the public wait with bated breath to see where Rex will take them on the next journey.

Alan Beagle - Daytime Announcer/Writer

Alan’s been in the radio game almost longer than radio. When it comes to great daytime radio, Alan wrote the book, and his 10-2 show is the highlight of many a local’s day. When Alan is not wowing the masses with his Barry White like vocals and interviewing prominent guests from authors to public figures, he enjoys the beautiful scenery, wine and food of the Coromandel.

Caleb Koia-Hamling - Creative Director

Raised in the mighty Nuhaka, Caleb has been mad on radio since he was 10. His first job was at 89FM Gisborne when he was just 13, and over the years that followed he hosted radio shows, did production, and wrote ads all over the country, including two and a half years at TRN Taupo. In December ‘07 Caleb made the very smart choice to join the creative team at Coromandel FM and is absolutely loving it. Caleb spends his spare time having fun with his beautiful wife and baby son, cheering on the Hurricanes and following the NBA.

Janette Parke - Office Manager

Janette- Her title is “office manager”, but only because “person who does all the accounts, chases outstanding debts, exports commercials, pays the wages, keeps station fridge stocked and generally does it all” wouldn’t fit on her business card. She captains the station from the front desk, and when she’s not keeping all the young creative lads in line, she’s cheering (often very loudly) for the best team in football history, the mighty Arsenal.
