ABC Radio has revealed who will replace Red Symons.

And in a twist it's not one, but two radio personalities who'll be picking up the headphones after the former Skyhooks guitarist was booted from the coveted Melbourne breakfast slot.

Comedian Sami Shah and broadcaster Jacinta Parsons will debut their new breakfast show in late January. The pair filled in for Symons in August while the radio and TV identity was recovering from a fall which left him with a brain injury.

While Symons has decided to leave the ABC, he isn't retiring altogether and claims to have already received several job offers. Earlier this year, the former Hey Hey It's Saturday star came under fire for asking a Radio National broadcaster if she was "yellow" and asking, "What's the deal with Asians?"
