2010 was a big year for Ant and Becks, they made the move to the big smoke fronting Ant & Becks 4-7pm Weekdays on Mix 106.5 Sydney and Mix 101.1 Melbourne, regularly appeared on Hey Hey it’s Saturday Night and Becks became the face of the Fosters UK campaign.
Both hailing originally from Melbourne, Ant first proved his talent as a performer on two university comedy revues while studying at Melbourne University. As a leading voiceover talent he is keen to pursue TV presenting roles and perform sketch comedy. Becks is an accomplished stand-up comic, and like most blokes he’s into sports, cars, bikes, the entire box of big boys toys!
Ant and Becks enjoyed their journey to their capital city drive show Ant & Becks 4-7pm Weekdays. It all started in 2003 in the Media studios of RMITV and SYN FM at RMIT Melbourne. Both finding their voice in student media, Ant as the production manager and host of "The Milk Bar" on SYN FM and Becks as a segment presenter and host on RMITV. After hitting it off at a chance on set meeting, Ant invited Becks to co-host The Milk Bar for a week and the rest as they say, is history.
After the success of The Milk Bar, Becks pursued a radio career with the then RG Capital on Mix 106.3 breakfast, Townsville, while Ant remained in Melbourne to complete his LLB/BA at Melbourne University. After 2 years up north, Becks convinced his bosses to listen to some of the pairs work and they were offered breakfast on Star FM 94.3/97.9 Gippsland in 2006.
After a few months on air in Gippsland, the boys were asked to take on the network drive shift across the then Macquarie Regional Radioworks Network. In 2007, Broadcasting out of the Gold Coast to 46 markets, "The Benchwarmers with Ant and Becks" was born.
