MediaWorks has nabbed Mark Richardson for a new radio gig.
The Block NZ host resigned from his position on the AM show in September, just weeks after Duncan Garner exited his role on the morning current affairs show. His co-host of five years Amanda Gillies also resigned to take on a new role as Newshub's national correspondent.
Today it has been revealed Richardson will join MediaWorks in the new year. The media company formerly owned Three before it sold off its TV arm in 2019, which was then purchased by Discovery.
He is joining MediaWorks' new talk radio brand. Richardson will join former Newshub presenter Wilhelmina Shrimpton, plus broadcaster Polly Gillespie and entrepreneur Robett Hollis.
