One radio insider told Daily Mail Australia it was 'inevitable' the Ben and Liam show would either go national or move to Sydney or Melbourne.
'They are number one in Adelaide and brought some of Triple J's biggest ratings for breakfast,' the source said.

'We are all so grateful for the opportunity to wake up with the people of Melbourne every day - we love the city and can't wait to call it our home,' Harvey said in a statement.
'Melbourne has Australia's most competitive radio market and we are looking forward to proving ourselves against some of the biggest shows in the country.'
Stapleton added of Jackson's promotion from producer to anchor: 'We're so stoked to be dropping the "producer" part from Producer Belle's title.
'She has done the hard yards with us for the last five years and we can't wait to have her on air more. Belle moved from Melbourne to Sydney, to Adelaide and back to Melbourne for the show. We introduced her to our hometown and now she's going to return the favour.
'We can't wait for Melbourne to fall in love with her and put up with us!'

Jackson said: 'I can't wait to return to Melbourne after five long but incredible years away and, while coming back home is exciting, to be doing it on air alongside Ben and Liam is a dream come true.
'I have loved every minute of "looking after" the boys as their producer. I can't wait to step into this new role with them and teach them a thing or two about my hometown.'
Ben, Liam & Belle will continue to have a presence in Adelaide, hosting a local early breakfast show from 6am to 7am. Nova 919's new Adelaide breakfast show will be revealed shortly.
Harvey and Stapleton's partnership began in 2013, when they joined forces at Adelaide community radio station Fresh 92.7.
They moved to Triple J in 2016, where their breakfast show became one of the most popular in the station's history.

In October 2019, the duo left the ABC's youth broadcaster for Adelaide's Nova 919.
Listeners of [url=][/url] were shocked when hosts Chrissie Swan, Sam Pang and Jonathan 'Browny' Brown announced last Friday they were quitting their top-rating breakfast show after seven years on the air.
The news came less than a day after their Sydney-based colleague Kate Ritchie revealed she was also stepping down from Nova's national drive show.

According to an insider, the announcement also stunned Nova staff, with all employees at the station receiving an email at 8.30am from CEO Peter Charlton with a press release attached.
The final Chrissie, Sam and Browny show will air on December 2.
Nova pulled the plug on the show because Pang 'wanted out' and radio bosses felt dropping the trio altogether would be an easier option than finding a replacement.
While there's no word yet on Pang and Brown's future plans in the radio industry, Swan will be hosting her own national afternoon show on Nova from January 2023.
