2UE Breakfast Host Sandy Aloisi

Sandy Aloisi is 2UE's first female breakfast broadcaster, and comes to the role after a 30 year career in broadcasting.  She was the first woman to read news on commercial radio in Sydney, and has held both on-air and executive roles.

Sandy first joined 2UE in 1993 as a weekday news reader and went on to become the station's News Director and Program Director. She has also worked at the ABC in Brisbane, and more recently was a presenter on ABC NewsRadio.

Sandy says the prospect of working with Mike Carlton in one of the most challenging shifts on radio was what lured her to back to 2UE. "I'm aware that breakfast radio is a terrific challenge", she said. "I've always respected Mike as a journalist and broadcaster and getting the chance to team up with him was a wonderful opportunity".

And how does Mike Carlton feel about working with a woman?  "I'm absolutely thrilled to be working with Sandy", he said.  "She's a fine journalist and long-time friend."

2UE General Manager, Simon Ruhfus, said "Carlton and Aloisi are experienced and successful broadcasters. Teaming them up is a win for 2UE and a win for Sydney listeners".
