Craig Zonca (born 1984) is an Australian radio and television presenter.
He is currently a breakfast presenter on ABC Radio Brisbane and a weather presenter on ABC Television.[1]
After presenting the Queensland edition of The Country Hour for several years, Zonca was announced as ABC Radio Brisbane's new breakfast presenter to replace long-serving host Spencer Howson in late 2016.[2][3]
In late 2017, it was announced Zonca would co-present the program in 2018 alongside Rebecca Levingston.[4][5] Levingston was later replaced in that time slot by fellow presenter Loretta Ryan.[6]
Since his time hosting the program, Zonca has maintained a healthy audience share for the program in a much-publicised ratings battle with the breakfast program on commercial rival Nova 106.9.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Zonca grew up in Rockhampton where he began his radio career with ABC Capricornia. He also completed a Bachelor of Business (Management) degree at CQUniversity in 2006.[15] In 2019 Zonca married ABC journalist Jessica Hinchliffe. In 2021 Craig and Jessica had a baby girl named Molly.
