Hanging With is an Australian children's television series which airs on Disney Channel.
It premiered on 13 July 2013 as a short-form series dispersed between programs. The variety entertainment series airs 5:00pm (AEST) weekdays with hosts who act as the faces of Disney Channel.[1] The hosts present Disney programming news, along with celebrity interviews and other comedy segments. It is currently hosted by Ashleigh "Ash" Wells and Tim Matthews.
History
The show was originally formatted as a short-form series titled Hanging with Adam & Naomi, and was hosted by Adam Roberts with Naomi Sequeira, who had together previously presented the ASTRA-nominated program Backstage Pass and other Disney Channel interstitials.[2] Sequeira departed the program in 2015 and was replaced by Ashleigh "Ash" Wells, who had previously worked on the channel. The series was renamed to Hanging with Adam & Ash accordingly.
Beginning 13 February 2017, the short-form series was expanded to a new runtime of 30 minutes, and retitled Hanging With. Roberts and Wells continued as the primary hosts, being joined by various other Disney Channel personalities.[3] Additional presenters included Ella Victoria (The Style Edit), Grace Pitts and Joel Maguire (Radio Disney Insider), Emma Graham and Jackson Ryan (Gamefest), and Georgia-May Davis.[4][5]
Roberts departed from Hanging With in December 2017, and was replaced by Tim Matthews. The program also returned to its original short-form format, with a full 30 minute episode airing only on weekends, titled Hanging With: Weekend Hangout.
