Miranda Devine pulls plug on Sunday night’s Radio 2GB ‘The Miranda Devine Show’
Conservative commentator Miranda Devine ended her Radio 2GB Sunday program, The Miranda Devine Show, as of last week, Mumbrella can reveal.
Devine, who is also a News Corp Australia columnist, hosted the program, a mix of news, commentary and interviews, between 6:00 and 8:00pm every Sunday night for the past two years.
“Between the newspaper, television and radio commitments it was becoming a seven days a week [commitment] and something had to give,” Devine told Mumbrella. “I loved it, it was a great opportunity. I have learned a new skill, it was pretty challenging but I feel like I nailed it.”
Adam Lang, COO of Macquarie Media, said Devine would continue to be a contributor to various shows.
“Miranda Devine has decided to take a break from her 2GB Sunday night show to spend more time with her family,” said Lang. “Miranda will still be very much part of Macquarie Media as a regular contributor for various programs.”
First Andrew Bolt, now Miranda Devine. Things are looking up. It’s finally getting through to the right-wing dinosaurs that their time has come and gone and the public has moved on from their narrow-minded and outdated views.
Natalie Peters and Michel Pachi may not be the answer for this Sunday spot on 2GB. I’ve heard a bit of their program and it seemed to lack structure and bite.
…First choice should be Kel Richards and Piers Acherman…no brainer…brilliant radio
It is an interesting experiment for 2GB to be going up market.
Too funny
“Miranda Devine has decided to take a break from her 2GB Sunday night show to spend more time with her family,” (But she’ll still be coaching from the sidelines)
Shame to see this show disappear. I really enjoyed it and she did it very well.
What a shame to see Miranda go she was great and her Sunday show was very popular.
Natalie Peters and Michael Pachi are NOT the answer for 2gb.
Piers Ackerman and Kel Richards covered for Steve Price over the Christmas break and they were BETTER than Steve Price and far more popular.
I miss Miranda – it was a great show – she was very good
Looks like Murdoch is getting ready to turn sky news into fox.
The best over the xmas break was definately was kel and piers by far. I hope they can be considered for miranda’s time slot. Much more knowledgable.
