Ash London, Angus O’Loughlin to host MTV TRL return

Radio hosts will front rebooted music series from March.

Radio hosts Ash London and Angus O’Loughlin will front the rebooted MTV TRL series from March.

They will be joined by DJ Flex Mami and MTV.com.au editor Lisa Hamilton.

The new-look Australian MTV TRL is the first international version to launch since its return to MTV US in 2017. A local version originally aired from 2004 to 2006 with hosts including Kyle Sandilands, Maz Compton, Jason Dundas, Nathan Sapsford and Lyndsey Rodriguez.

Ash London said “I grew up on a solid diet of MTV, memorising Britney moves and dreaming that one day I’d be part of that world. Music is my number one passion and as soon as I heard that TRL was coming to Australia I knew I wanted to be part of it. Hosting it with Angus is a bonus…we once got married in Vegas so I feel like hosting a show together on MTV is the natural next step”.

“I can now tell all my mates the hours I’ve spent watching Ex On The Beach on a Sunday afternoon were for ‘research.’ So stoked to be joining the MTV family alongside my bestie Ash London! We’ve already started talking about how these live music shows will be like nothing ever done in Australia before. I just can’t wait to begin,” said Angus O’Loughlin.

Simon Bates, Vice President and Head of MTV Asia Pacific said, “We are thrilled to welcome Ash and Angus to the MTV family alongside Flex and Lisa. Their combined wealth of talent, knowledge, experience and energy will bring a distinctly local flavor to this brand new Australian version of an iconic MTV franchise.”

Each episode of MTV TRL will be where music, celebrity, pop culture and superstar content creators collide live in front of a live studio audience at MTV HQ in Sydney each week. With Ash and Angus at the helm, TRL will feature performances from some of the biggest local and international musicians in the world, interviews with celebrities, the latest entertainment news, music video premieres and more.

Friday, March 8 at 6:00pm AEDT on MTV.
