Bio
Renee Peterson
Browny is a true example of someone who is extremely passionate about radio and everything it has to offer and deliver. I have known and worked with Browny for more than five years and as an announcer and producer he is hard working, honest, passionate and a driven team player who lives and breaths the world of radio. Browny started out in radio by volunteering his time to work on my show The Fat 30 and The Hit List and has now carved a career for himself with the experience he has learnt during his journey. Yes working for FREE in radio gets you a long way! Browny takes direction well and comes up with creative on air ideas and stunts that captive an audience. I would have to say getting 'Justin Bieber's' named tattooed on him was total dedication. Browny is loved by his work mates and also his listeners. I am proud to say I have worked with Browny and wish him all the luck in the radio world.

Hot FM CQ Breakfast Announcer
-
Apr 2013 - Apr 2015
Anchor and Host of the Breakfast Radio Show for Hot Fm Central Queensland.In the two years I worked for Hot Fm in Central Queensland I achieved much more than I ever thought possible during my career in the radio industry. Producing, hosting and anchoring the breakfast radio program was just the start of my role at the station. I achieved national news for two of the ideas I conceived for the show including crashing Kevin Rudd's Press Conference before the election and creating the #ThingsSchapelleMissed hashtag. Not only that but multiple internal exclusive content that was made available for our entire radio network. My passion for music shined though as I realised I wanted to focus my strength in interviewing bands/musicians more on the show and tracked down as many interviews as possible to fit into the program.Wanting to do more with my time in the community I focused as much time as I could in helping to grow the live music scene by attending and promoting as many live gigs as possible throughout the region.I hopefully left a lasting impression of my time, pushing the boundaries and creating a great show my listeners enjoyed tuning into every morning.In August 2015 we received an Australian Commercial Radio Award Nomination in the Best Station Produced Comedy Segment Category for our Guy Sebastian Bad Hair Day Call.
