The Hamish & Andy Show (Hamish and Andy), is an Australian radio show created by and starring comedic duo Hamish Blake and Andy Lee. It began on Fox FM in 2006 and by 2007, was broadcast on the Hit Network to every state in Australia as well as the ACT for two hours in the key weekday afternoon drive time slot until the end of 2010. It has since taken on a variety of timeslots and formats. It is also broadcast in New Zealand and Dubai as a weekly highlights package. In late 2009, a 3-hour special entitled 'Hamish and Andy's Midwinter Warmer' was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC6 Music.
The show is the highest-rating radio series in Australian history, consistently gaining up to 20% market share in the crucial Melbourne market. The show has approximately 2.7 million listeners, and has over 1 million podcast downloads each week.
Blake and Lee announced in August 2010, they would be cutting down to a weekly show in 2011, to allow them time to pursue other projects. The final daily program aired on 3 December 2010 in Melbourne as part of their Thank You Tour.
The show aired weekly on Fridays during 2011 and 2012. In 2013, it moved to Mondays, with Hamish & Andy's Business Brunch airing Tuesday to Friday mornings. From July 2013 until December 2014, Blake and Lee hosted Hamish & Andy's Happy Hour each weekday afternoon from 3pm to 4pm.
In 2015, the show returned to the drive home time slot between 4pm and 7pm each weekday.
In December 2016, Hamish and Andy announced that they would be leaving radio at the end of 2017 to focus on their upcoming television series with Channel Nine.
