I enjoy traffic because how many people get to see Melbourne's sunrise every morning from 1000 Feet - that and I get home early, allowing plenty of time for Scuba diving and cricket. My perfect day starts flying around in our little chopper watching the sun rise, then heading off to the beach or out on the boat to go for a dive. Sunrise in the chopper, sunset in the ocean - perfect

Brad Arnoldt
Brad Arnoldt has been in radio since 1993 after getting his first full time gig in his home town of Swan Hill as weekend announcer. Since then he's worked at stations in Moree, Wangaratta and Traralgon in a variety of roles. After a 3 month holiday around Europe with his now wife, Brad moved to Melbourne and ATN in 2007 where he's been reporting on traffic ever since. He's just glad he's reporting it and not actually in it.

Andrew Crook
I'm Melbourne born and bred, but I've also spent time living abroad, and in regional Victoria, where I began my radio career. I was a drivetime announcer for 18 months before moving back to Melbourne at the start of 2008. Not traditionally a morning person, I now get up at "stupid o'clock" to see the sun rise over Melbourne, from the comfort of the traffic chopper at a whopping 5000 feet

Nicola Wood
Nicola is new to the ATN Melbourne team and has found her niche reporting in
the mornings for Sunrise on 7.
Upon finishing her degree in Arts and Literature at Melbourne University,
she has done television presenting
courses to get herself ready for whatever ATN throws at her. For the last
few years, she has been working in jewellery
for Bulgari and Tiffany & Co in Melbourne and New York and is quite annoyed
at the fact that she can't wear bling
in the chopper. She looks forward to the day where she too can fly a
helicopter, but expects it to be quite dangerous
for the brave passengers who come up.

Emma Notarfrancesco
Emma has been our eye in the sky for almost 2 years now. As our chopper
chick for Channel 10, she loves every minute of flying over Melbourne,
especially the thrill and excitement of live TV. Having studied Media and
Communications at Melbourne University, Geography wasn't her strongest
subject so it was a challenge learning the ins and outs of Melbourne's
roads. When she's not restricted to a polo shirt in the chopper, she's out
hunting for the latest trends - she loves fashion as well sports and
travelling. Emma has been around the globe but still believes that
Melbourne is the most beautiful city in the world and loves that she gets
to enjoy the breathtaking views from the chopper every afternoon.
