The BIG Couch

The BIG Couch is a radio show on Mix 94.5, a radio station in Perth, Australia. The show is broadcast most of the year between 4pm and 7pm each weekday and Saturday between 7am and 10am.

The show is hosted by Dean Clairs, Nat Foster and Shane McFarlane, all Perth people. Each day the guys chat about stuff that's in the news and happening in their lives and get Perth listeners involved in the show by listening to their own stories about things that are happening in their own lives.

The show was born out of The Saturday Show, a regular Saturday morning gig that the threesome had on Mix 94.5 for nearly three years prior to their weekday gig. The team was put together by program director Steve Mummery after conducting a search for a team to make a Saturday morning breakfast show. Different combinations of people were trialled over a period of time.

Dean Clairs was already on a weekday morning show on the station, Shane McFarlane was on the station's "NightMix Requests" show each weeknight and Nat Foster worked on a casual basis at the station covering on air shifts, reception duties, as well as going out to meet visitors in the station's street vehicle, The Mix Street Cruiser.
