Nine Radio today announced the appointment of James Willis as the new full-time host for its national finance program, Money News, and welcomed the return of presenter Brooke Corte to the 2GB stable.Willis, a well-known voice in Sydney media, will host Money News from Monday to Thursday, 7pm-8pm across the Nine Radio network, including 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR.

The move marks a return for Willis, who began his media career at 2GB and is coming back after almost two years in a senior role with The Daily Telegraph. In addition to his Money News duties, Willis will also step into the hosting chair on 2GB Breakfast when Ben Fordham is on leave.

Brooke Corte’s return to 2GB is another win for listeners. A highly respected broadcaster in the finance sector, Corte will host a new series of financial podcasts for the network and will take over the Money News hosting duties when Willis is filling in on Breakfast. Corte is returning to 2GB after spending the past two years raising a young family.

Nine Radio’s National Content Manager, Greg Byrnes, said “James and Brooke are back where they belong. James, a fresh and respected voice in Sydney media, is a pivotal signing for Money News and a crucial addition to Ben Fordham’s top rating breakfast show on 2GB. Brooke’s highly anticipated return brings her finance expertise and respected industry standing back to the network. Alongside James, these two first class broadcasters are set to thrill our listeners once again.”

“Evan Lucas has done an outstanding job filling in on Money News and I thank him for his work over recent months. Evan will continue in the role until James officially takes over in 2026”.

James Willis said, “It’s been a privilege to work at The Daily Telegraph over the past two years and my sincere thanks to the team for their support, encouragement and advice. I’m leaving with very fond memories.”

“Ultimately my lifelong dream has been to be a radio host and so this was an opportunity too good to refuse. I’m very excited to be coming back to 2GB.”On returning to 2GB, Brooke Corte said, “”I’m incredibly excited to be back and to dive into the world of financial broadcasting once again. The opportunity to host a new series of financial podcasts and contribute to Money News is something I’m truly passionate about, and I can’t wait to engage with our listeners across the country.”
