Station website has already updated.
Interestingly Fitzy and Wippa’s is unchanged with no mention of Kate.

I agree. I think they’ll stumble over trying to say Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel.
Technically their first show starts today. As a new team.
It’s Official. They’re using the new show title today.
Listen to the announcement on the first Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel episode: It’s Official.
Kate Richie will join as a guest on Fitzy and Wippa tomorrow morning after 8 as Tim Blackwell metioned on the drive show
As much as this sucks for Sarah, I think its a good move. Ricki Lee is great on drive and Kate will fit in really well with Fitzy and Wippa.
If the really wanted to keep Sarah they could have done the following:
6-9 Fitzy, Wippa and Kate
9-12 Jamie Row and Sarah
12-2 Ben, Liam and Belle
2-4 Chrissie Swan
4-6 Ricki Lee, Tim and Joel
6-7 Fitzy Wippa and Kate
7-10 Smallzy
10- 12 Mason
And thrown Mel Tracina under the bus?
Jamie Row doesn’t need a sidekick. Perhaps Kate Ritchie should have teamed up with Chrissie Swan. She struggles on her own and is pretty much constantly bantering with her sidekick now.
I’d love to see it branded as ‘Kate, Fitzy and Wippa’, so it doesn’t feel like Kate has just been added on at the end.
But it’s an awesome trio nonetheless. It’s a pity other states lose Kate (and before anyone says it, yes I know I can listen on the podcast, lol).
She only does 1 hour anyway. Maybe she could join Chrissie or Mason?
They don’t loose Kate. She’ll be on at 6pm.
Ahh yes, forgot about the national highlights show.
But she has. Let’s see how long she sticks around at Breakfast.
I reckon Fitzy and Wippa will leave at the end of the year and they’ll dump Kate so they can launch a fresh new and young show.
Mel and Chrissie could be better than Chrissie on her own.
She currently does it with Jack.
Chrissie, Jack and Mel could have been good.
Ricki-Lee reposted this photo on her Instagram at 4.30pm AEDT, saying simply:
It’s official!
Old news. They’ve been talking about it since 4pm.
It’s interesting how they announced it. They started the show with the regular Kate, Tim and Joel intro and had a regular chat. When it was time for a song, they played the new Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel intro and all the bumpers to then make the big announcement.
Too many trios.
Peter Ford broke this story on the morning show.
It was online before he mentioned it on TMS.
