The Matt and Jo Show was a breakfast radio show broadcast on Fox FM in Melbourne, Australia. Matt Tilley and Jo Stanley were hosts, along with Troy Ellis as anchor and Adam Richard as gossip reporter. It was broadcast live 6-9am weekday mornings from Austereo's South Melbourne studios, and replayed on Saturday mornings from 6-8am.
The show was founded late in 2003 after Tracy Bartram left Fox FM. Jo Stanley, who had been working at the Fox on the show Jodie and Jo, then moved on to Triple M to host a show called The Shebang. Once Tracy Bartram officially left Fox FM, Jo joined the breakfast show, initially named Matt, Jo and Benno with the Fabulous Adam Richard.
Chris 'Benno' Bennett left a couple of months into the year and it was renamed The Matt & Jo Show with the Fabulous Adam Richard. Not very long later, the show introduced anchor Troy Ellis and it was renamed to simply The Matt and Jo Show. The show was known for holding the highest ratings for over a number of years. News updates were presented by Krystal Keller.
In 2009, whilst Stanley was away on maternity leave, her position was filled by Michala Banas (McLeod's Daughters and Neighbours). Comedian Dave Thornton was a regular fill in presenter for Matt Tilley.
The Matt and Jo Show was the number 1 breakfast show in Melbourne, Australia, with more listeners than any other breakfast show. It has led the FM share in Melbourne for more than 40 surveys (5 years).
It was announced on 4 October 2013 that the show would finish at the end of the year.
In November 2013, Fifi Box and Dave Thornton were announced as the new Fox FM breakfast team.
The final show aired on Friday 29 November 2013 on the Fox FM rooftop.
