Anne Stone

Anne Stone has been in the radio industry for 22 years .... and has been at FIVEaa for 8 years. I started my career back in the mid 80's with a cadetship at the old 5DN. I spent a few years working in Sydney radio before heading back to Adelaide in the early 90's.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading and I love fashion ... I am known as a bit of a shopaholic and am often spotted in my favourite stores in Rundle Mall. I particularly love shoes and big earrings !

I've been married now for just over 2 years and think my husband Tom was well worth waiting for !

Claire Murphy

Claire Murphy is the breakfast news editor and all round floater for FIVEaa and sister station NOVA 919.

Claire began her career 7 years ago as a breakfast announcer at 5CC in Port Lincoln, moving to Melbourne to work as a copywriter in 2003, then returning to her home town of Adelaide in 2004. She has since worked in breakfast radio in Murray Bridge and as a traffic reporter for both FIVEaa and the Sunrise breakfast show on channel 7.

After being a regular fixture on the FIVEaa breakfast show as a traffic reporter with Tony and Keith, Claire has since become a part of the newsroom, fulfilling a lifelong dream of being a "journo".

When Claire isn't at work, you'll either find her shopping til she drops or enjoying a nice sav blanc somewhere near the water.
