Dave Hughes, Kate Langbroek quit Nova 100

High-rating Melbourne breakfast radio duo Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek have quit as hosts of Nova 100's breakfast program.

The pair announced their decision to listeners on Tuesday morning's program.

Hughes and Langbroek were launch announcers when Nova began broadcasting in December 2001, and were the first voices heard on the station.

The pair plan to be on air until the end of the year, with their last show planned for November 29.

"Hughesy and I have decided that this will be our last year on the show," Langbroek told listeners, "and we have loved it and still love it ... but let's face it, we've had big lives, we're tired – not of each other actually."

"We love our show," said Hughes. "It's been an amazing place to work. Since day one, when me, Katie and Dave O'Neil started ... we've had so much fun. It's been a joy to come to work. I have not had one boring day in 12 years coming to work with Kate Langbroek.

"It's been a massive decision," he said, with Langbroek adding: "We've been talking about it for a long time ... we have decided everything together."
