## History

[edit]

The show commenced as The Bump on 28 January 2013 replacing the Hot 30 Countdown from 7pm-10pm with Angus O'Loughlin as host.[1]

In October 2014 Southern Cross Austereo and Shazam formed a partnership and as a result The Bump was relaunched as Shazam Top 20 on Monday 20 October. Ash London also joined Angus O'Loughlin as host of the show.[2][3]

In December 2015, Ash London resigned from the show to take on another adventure.[4] During the summer period the show relaunched as the Hit 30.[5]

In January 2016, Emma Freedman replaced London as host.

In October 2016, Angus O'Loughlin and Emma Freedman announced that they would finish on the show on Friday 14 October. O'Loughlin moved to Adelaide to host breakfast on HIT 107 and Freedman joined The Grill Team on Triple M Sydney. Ash London Live replaced the show on Monday 24 October 2016.
