Dan Anstey

In a former life Dan Anstey graduated from the University of Queensland with an Electrical Engineering degree, but left the world of precision calculations behind for the complete unreliability of weather predictions on the Today Show.

It all began when Dan met Leon Murray in the hallway of Brisbane’s community television station in 2007, where they teamed up to create the comedy movie review program Reel2Reel. A year later they began working at Brisbane’s Nova 106.9 together, handing out icy cold free stuff from the back of a panel van.

Dan began doing live crosses for Nova Brisbane’s breakfast show each morning and anchoring a weekly Sunday night panel show. From there he landed his own program The Dan Anstey Show which aired weekdays from 1pm to 4pm until mid-2012 when he made the move to Melbourne.

Dan worked alongside Hughesy & Kate for breakfast 6-9am weekdays on Nova 100.3 in 2012 and 2013 and with Fifi & Dave every morning of the FOX FM breakfast show in Melbourne in 2014 and 2015.

When he isn’t making a mess of meteorology or filling-in for Karl Stefanovic, he’s wrangling former Wallaby Greg Martin and Margaux Parker, wife of ex-Broncos captain Corey Parker, on-air for the Triple M Brisbane breakfast show “Marto, Margaux & Dan” weekdays from 6 to 9am.

He also contributes to The Project, hosted the Nine Network series ManSpace alongside Shane Jacobson and is the Brisbane Lions number-one ticket holder.
