Ben & Liam show for the week.
Oddy had for years been part of Adelaide’s #1 FM Breakfast show,
She did not have the chance to farewell listeners, and ARN said it can’t comment on the reasons for her departure due to confidentiality.
From Monday, however, Oddy will be filling in for news journalist Taylee Jones while she is on leave.
Ben Latimer, head of programming at Nova 919, said the network is pleased it can give Oddy the chance to say goodbye to her legions of South Australian fans.
“With Taylee on holidays, we’re excited to be able to have someone of Jodie’s calibre to fill in,” he added. “Jodie is a talented broadcaster and we’re delighted to have her join the team as news anchor next week.”
