Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire are launching a new radio show together, which will be available through Nine and the Australian Radio Network.
The two media giants will co-host a weekly radio program and vodcast called The Long Weekend, covering news, sport and entertainment stories of the week, with the show “designed to be full of opinion, energy, and perspective.”
The longtime friends have shared their thoughts on the program and how excited they are to work together.
“We are both ready to disrupt the status quo and let me tell you, we’ll have plenty of fun along the way. God, don’t we all need that,” Stefanovic said in a press release.
“Karl and I have been talking about working together for years, and to do it on this scale … is a once in a career opportunity,” McGuire added.
“Karl is one of my closest mates in the industry. Now we get to do this together. Off we go.”
The program will run for three hours, according to the ARN and will have “great music, unmissable banter, big personalities, big opinions, and no-holds-barred discussions that will set the tone for the weekend ahead.”
The show will be broadcast globally via iHeart and in Australia via the GOLD Network, with the vodcast available on streaming platforms 9Now and Stan from 19 June 2026 through to December 2026.
Amanda Laing, Nine Managing Director, Streaming and Broadcast added that the duo’s respective commitments with the network will continue.
“Nine has a deep commitment to audio through podcasting and vodcasting and it makes perfect sense for two of Nine’s talent to have their new show streamed on their home network,” Laing said.
“Karl and Eddie are great broadcasters and we look forward to showcasing The Long Weekend, adding to the expanding content available to our audiences on 9Now and Stan.”
