Experienced presenter and reporter Jonathon Kendall has been named as the new co-host of The Conversation Hour on ABC Radio Melbourne and Victoria.

ABC Radio has announced its 2021 presenter line ups, which remain relatively stable for all networks, with no changes for ABC Radio Sydney, ABC Radio Melbourne and ABC Radio Adelaide.
 
Several ABC radio networks recorded their highest audience reach and share in a decade due largely to the bushfire coverage followed by coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and the US election.
 

ABC Radio is currently running, Your Good Vibrations, and calling for happy songs.
 
This is part of ABC’s focus on mental wellbeing, ABC Your Mental Health, 5-11 July and the songs will be played on local radio and used to create an ABC Playlist of happy songs.
