CRN to Broadcast 2024 Budget Night Live

Tuesday, 14 May will be the moment when Australians think most about money, Federal Budget Day. As Treasurer Jim Chalmers announces the detail, community radio’s flagship current affairs show, The Wire, will broadcast a live budget special from inside Federal Parliament. On air from 8pm to 9pm it fits with the sector’s Roadmap 2033 goal of collaboration: between National Radio News, The Wire and other contributing stations.

2SER’s Presenter, Rod Chambers, along with a team of volunteers, will work with Federal Politics Reporter, Noah Secomb, NRN’s Sasha Foot, as well as Alexi Boyd, host and driving force behind Triple H’s Small Business Matters.
