Loved Local Joins Power FM Breakfast In 2022

Grant Broadcasters’ commitment to the ongoing development of talent continues with the appointment of long term afternoon host Craig Pitman to join Molly Rose on Power FM Breakfast in 2022.

Craig’s dedication to the craft, his innate creativity, love of the local community and his willingness to get up ridiculously early all combined to make him a natural choice to partner Molly on Power FM next year.

Craig lives in the Adelaide Hills with his wife and 2 young children. “His love of turning local stories into more than just a talk break is a credit to him and his craft and I can’t wait to hear him with Molly Rose in 2022.” says Power FM Content Director Adam Connelly.

Station Manager Dave Shearer says “I first met Craig as a fresh faced kid so it’s a delight to see him with the ability to achieve his professional potential.”

Craig will replace Damon Adams who, after more than 1000 shows, has taken an off air role in Adelaide.

The first Power FM Breakfast Show with Molly and Craig will be heard on 98.7, 99.7 and 100.3 FM in the Adelaide Hills, South Coast and Murraylands on January 17, 2022.
