The show commenced with Nova 106.9's inaugural broadcast on 4 April 2005 starring Meshel Laurie, Ashley Bradnam, David "Luttsy" Lutteral and Kip Wightman.
The show disbanded in 2009 with Wightman leaving to join his girlfriend Emileigh in Boston and Bradnam standing down due to personal issues.
The original breakfast show partially reformed in 2011 with Ash and Luttsy rejoining the station, alongside Camilla Severi and Dan Anstey.
Lutteral said that he had shared his idea to Andy Lee three years prior during an encounter in New York City and later began filming a pilot for Channel Nine with co-host Bradnam which was never completed.
It is clear to me that they had conceived and documented the format for True Story over a year before I met with Andy in New York.
