Shocking exit from SAFM, Mark Soderstrom quits breakfast show

Mark Soderstrom (Soda) announced at the SAFM breakfast show Beck and Soda that he will leave the station. At this time, the station has not released an official statement regarding his departure or announced a potential replacement, leaving fans and listeners unsure about the show’s future.

During the on-air announcement alongside his co-host Rebecca Morse, Soderstrom shared that recent changes in his life have presented him with one of the biggest challenges he has faced. He said the decision was not just a choice, but rather a necessity given his circumstances.

Soderstrom joined the SAFM breakfast team in early 2023, replacing Andrew “Cozy” Costello, who left the station in January of that year. Prior to this role, Soderstrom was a familiar voice at Mix 102.3, where he co-hosted the top-rated show for eight years before stepping down in December 2021.

As well as his radio work, Soderstrom was a familiar face on television, regularly covering sports for 7NEWS and covering Australian Rules football for Seven Sport.

As the details of his departure remain unclear, listeners are left to wonder about the future direction of the SAFM breakfast show. More information is expected to become available soon.
