    Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli can be heard alongside Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, weekdays on Nova 96.9’s Sydney breakfast show.

    Fitzy & Wippa have raised over a million dollars for charity through various campaigns such as Barry the Parody Bear, which raised over $100,000 and won them an Australian Commercial Radio Award in 2015.

    Having started his journey in building management, working from project to project allowed Wippa the freedom to test out the entertainment industry. On completing a radio short course, Wippa put together a demo that saw him gain his first radio gig in country South Australia.

    After returning to his home town of Melbourne, Wippa came to the attention of Nova’s programming team and secured a Perth breakfast gig in 2007. Two years later Wippa returned to Melbourne to join Nova’s national drive show. In 2011 he teamed up with Fitzy and the duo moved to Sydney with the drive show before taking over Nova 96.9’s Sydney breakfast show in September that year.

    Wippa is an Ambassador for Tourism Australia and a passionate spokesperson for the Cooper Rice Brading Foundation, funding hope for the future for young sarcoma patients. Wippa also owns his own production company, Two Basic Scoops Media and in 2019 produced the reality series, I am…Roxy.

    When he’s not broadcasting from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, being dropped into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! or creating TV shows for Network Ten, Wippa spends his time with his wife Lisa and their two sons Theodore and Jack.
