Murray to present new show on 2UE

2UE have announced a new morning show for 2013.

Paul Murray will move from drive and present “A Sydney Morning with Paul Murray”. The show will be live from the newsroom of The Sydney Morning Herald in a purpose built interactive studio.

It will air from 8.30 to 11.30 weekdays.

Murray said:

“People in the media often take for granted just how exciting being at the centre of a newsroom is. We'll be there as news comes in, but more importantly we'll be talking to the best reporters in the country".

“We have all seen people move time slots before, but this really is a new program with a new home at a new time with a new attitude."

“But it's not just news; it's not me thumping the desk all morning. We're going to talk about everything that really matters to people. It's about engaging with our entire city of Sydney from the big end of town to the back fence. I want to do a show that appeals to people across all shades of politics who don’t have their blinkers on. I want to talk to the Sydneysiders who are in the middle."

“Make no mistake, I'm no soft touch, but I won't be one eyed."

CEO of the Fairfax Radio Network Adam Lang added:

“The Fairfax Media of the future involves every part of the business working together and we are proud to be bringing Paul Murray live to Sydney together with The Sydney Morning Herald on 2UE. This really is a radio revolution.”

The show will begin on Monday January 14 with an announcement about 2UE drive to be made shortly.
