Tapt Media has confirmed that from this weekend, 3AW will source its news from Sydney instead of Melbourne, impacting Saturday afternoon and Sunday night shifts.

The company points out that on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, there are no news bulletins on 3AW due to its AFL coverage.

During these times, news will come from 2GB if required.

Brian Wilson usually reads Saturday and Sunday afternoons bulletins on 3AW. Both he and Karalee Katsambanis, who presents 3AW’s Sunday night news, will be given alternative shifts.

On Saturday nights, Tapt Media’s national news will come out of 3AW for the rest of the network.
