Luke Grant to commandeer 2GB Weekend Mornings in 2024
In a significant reshuffle at 2GB, broadcaster Luke Grant is set to take the helm of the Weekend Mornings slot in 2024, succeeding Michael McLaren. This announcement comes on the heels of McLaren's recent appointment as the host of 2GB Afternoons, starting Monday 15 January 2024.
With a broadcasting career spanning over three decades, he has most recently been the voice behind the top-rating Overnights program on 2GB and 4BC. Grant has also frequently stepped in as the fill-in host on The Ray Hadley Morning Show.
In a statement, Grant expressed his anticipation for the new role, stating, "The news cycle has no respect for weekends - there are new issues to cover and opinions to share every day of the week, so being able to do that with our 2GB listeners on Saturdays and Sundays is something I’m really looking forward to. I am going to miss my Overnights audience, but a new challenge awaits. Bring it on!"
2GB Content Manager, Luke Davis expressed confidence in Grant's ability to make the Weekend Mornings slot his own, stating, "For many years, Weekend Mornings on 2GB has been appointment listening."
That tradition will continue into 2024 he said.
