Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire’s ARN radio show gets new launch date

There’s been a major development for Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire’s ARN radio show, The Long Weekend.

Initially set to launch on June 19, the show, which will air on the GOLD Network, is set to kickstart a week earlier and will air its debut episode on Friday, June 12.

ARN made the announcement on Tuesday, and media personality McGuire has said he’s more than happy to hit the airwaves a little earlier than expected, promising a “fun” show when it starts airing at Friday, midday.

“We couldn’t wait to get started. Karl and I have been talking about this for years, and once everything came together, it just felt right to bring it forward,” he said in a statement.

“We’re ready to go and we’re going to have a lot of fun with it.”

ARN also announced that former Bachelorette star and journalist Georgia Love will join the pair as a newsreader on the show.
