Macquarie Media has launched its first national program, Macquarie Weekly, hosted by Justin Smith.
 
With a focus on news and current affairs, the program is live each Sunday on 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR and will look at the news of the week through the eyes and ears of the presenters, journalists and listeners of Macquarie Radio.
 
This includes the stories and issues driven by some of Australia’s most successful broadcasters like Alan Jones, Ray Hadley, Ross Stevenson & John Burns, Neil Mitchell, Steve Mills & Basil Zempilas.
 
Host, Justin Smith, will also speaks with the people making the news and takes coast to coast talkback.
 
Justin says the prospect is very exciting “This is a truly national program, and every listener, and every radio station, has an equal stake. It’s wonderful to take talkback from someone on one side of the country and broadcast it to the other side, and to demonstrate the enormous breadth of content and opinion across the Macquarie Media network.”
 
Macquarie Media CEO Adam Lang said: “Macquarie Weekly is something new, our first national news talk program. Our presenters right around the country are the best at identifying a good story, and this program will now allow us to tell those stories to a national audience. It doesn’t matter whether you’re listening in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne – this program focuses on issues and topics that transcend state borders.”
 
Macquarie Media will be broadcast Sunday on 2GB, 3AW: 7pm – 9pm, 4BC : 6pm – 8pm & 6PR : 4pm – 6pm
