Carrie Bickmore reveals future career plans

After announcing she would be stepping down from The Project last month, Carrie Bickmore has confirmed she will be staying on the airwaves for the foreseeable future.

The Hit Network, which hosts the Carrie & Tommy Show, confirmed that Bickmore and co-host Tommy Little would continue on the national show for another four years.

The 41-year-old said being on the show was an “incredible joy” for her and that there are already plans for next year’s antics.

"This show is such an incredible joy for me and being able to bring that joy to our listeners for another four years is extremely exciting,” she said.

“We already have so many thrilling adventures locked in for 2023 but in true Carrie & Tommy style, I am sure none of those will go as planned!"

Little described Carrie as his “best mate” and shared his excitement at “riding her coattails” for another four years.

“We’re here for a good time and a long time. Carrie is my best mate so another four years of riding her coattails is a dream come true,” he said.

The pair have been working together on the radio show since 2017, eventually taking over the drive show from Dave Hughes and Ed Kavalee in 2021.

Sonder Novak-Booth, the SCA Content Director of National Shows, said Bickmore and Little bring “unbridled joy” to the airwaves.

“Carrie and Tommy are something special – their chemistry and relationship, not only with each other, but with their listeners, makes them an unbridled joy on the airwaves, and to know we have the privilege of delivering this Drive show on the Hit Network for the next four years is wonderful,” he said.

The news of Bickmore’s radio future comes amid growing speculation as to who will replace her on The Project, as well as the shock news of co-host Lisa Wilkinson’s departure earlier this week.
