In an incredible month for 9Podcasts, 9News Queensland production of Hannah’s Story claimed the Kennedy Award for Outstanding Podcast of the Year, and Anthony ‘Huddo’ Hudson’s Nothin’ Like the 90’s was awarded Best Podcast at the Australian Football Media Awards.

Both productions are industry-leading examples of the powerful storytelling medium of podcasts, and the quality of the Nine Podcast Network. Hannah’s Story continues to be recognised for the powerful voice it gives to Hannah Clarke’s loved ones, the first responders on the scene, witnesses, domestic violence experts and political leaders;  delving into the shocking murders and igniting a crucial community conversation about coercive control. Huddo’s Nothin Like the 90’s takes a lighter approach, entertaining and educating listeners by bringing the decade of iconic footy back into the modern day, as he speaks to the biggest players, coaches and personalities that made AFL in the 90’s so pure.

These award-winning productions contributed to the Nine Podcast Network posting its second highest monthly audience in August 2023, with over 1.7 million monthly listeners across the slate of premium Australian podcasts.

Ben Fordham Live remains the top podcast within the 9Podcasts stable, with over 188,000 monthly listeners tuning in – a 66% YoY increase. There is a similar success story across the breadth of Nine’s catch up radio podcasts, with 3AW Breakfast with Ross and Russel (+45%) Mornings with Neil Mitchell (+34%) and The Ray Hadley Morning Show (+20%) all boasting significant double digital podcast audience growth compared to the same time last year.

9Podcasts originals are continuing to gain loyal listeners across the slate of premium News, Sport, Entertainment and True Crime programming, and footy finals fever has well and truly arrived, with fanatics listening to the expert analysis and commentary across 9Podcasts’ slate of footy programs.

The 3AW Football podcast has jumped up 36 positions in the podcast ranker, with more than 100,000 monthly listeners (+70% YoY growth), Six Tackles with Gus has jumped up 16 positions, with 93,000 monthly listeners (+33% YoY growth) and further audience growth has been seen across 100% Footy (+35%) and Footy Classified (+44%). 

The new footy podcasts in the slate The Billy Slater Podcast, Eddie & Jimmy also continue to grow in popularity across both audio and youtube.

LISTENERS	AUG 23	YoY CHANGE
Nine Radio Catch-Up	876,150	50%
Nine Original Podcasts	871,548	12%

Head of 9Podcasts, Mia Stern, said: “It’s fantastic to see listeners continue to discover our premium Australian-created podcasts and make podcasting part of their daily habit. The breadth of our content slate, profile of our talent, and strength of Nine broadcast and publishing brands continues to deliver high quality audio content across our key verticals News, Sport, Entertainment, True Crime and Radio podcasts”

Hold onto your bouquet as the UK version of the world’s favourite marital experiment, Married at First Sight UK, returns for a brand new season on Friday, September 29, streaming exclusively for Australian viewers on 9Now, with a new episode dropping daily from Monday to Thursday. 

Season eight is set to be the most explosive yet and bigger than ever before. With a total of 36 episodes, it will be its largest and longest series to date, filled with mayhem, love, laughter and drama. 

Relationship experts Paul C. Brunson, Charlene Douglas and Australia’s own Mel Schilling will once again be at the helm of the social experiment, matching and guiding the couples through their journey as the participants put their trust in them when they marry a total stranger. 

Mel Schilling said “I’m excited to introduce this latest season of MAFS UK to the Aussie fan base. This year we have the most diverse set of brides and grooms, including our first ever trans bride and a bride with a disability. Once again, the experiment is full of all your typical favourite MAFS moments, but with a whole bunch of UK accents. Aussies, you’re going to love it.” 

Relationships will be tested as the new crop of brides and grooms embark on lavish honeymoons, move in together, and are put under the microscope by the other married couples at the weekly dinner parties, while the experts will hold them to account at the weekly commitment ceremonies. 

The 16 brave singles walking down the aisle and entering the experiment this season are:

The Brides: clinic consultant Ella (29) who makes history as the show’s first-ever trans contestant, childcare assistant Tasha (25), performing arts teacher Shona (31), florist Rosaline (28), executive assistant Porscha (36), technology risk partner Peggy (32), finance manager Laura (34) and sales manager Jay (31). 

The Grooms: investment communications Thomas (27), youth worker and DJ Terence (40), account manager Paul (26), marketing and events manager Nathanial (36), sales executive Luke (30), sports rehabilitator Georges (30), model Brad (27) and tennis coach Arthur (34). 

In a season set to be like no other, pop the champagne and get ready for your MAFS UK fix.

The biggest prize in cricket will be showcased on Nine’s Wide World of Sports when the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup is broadcast live and free on Channel 9HD and streams on 9Now from Thursday, October 5.

STREAM FOR FREE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME ON 9NOW

A 2019 final rematch between defending champions England and New Zealand on Thursday, October 5, gets it all going before a blockbuster opener for Australia against India on Sunday, October 8, at 7.00pm.

Pat Cummins will lead Australia to take on the world in India, with every Australia game, the tournament’s best match-ups and every finals game available live and free in prime time across six weeks of One Day International cricket. 

The Aussie squad features box-office batsmen Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stonis and David Warner, and a bowling attack with Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and spinner Adam Zampa. 

9Now is the place to be for the ICC Cricket World Cup with live coverage and mini matches providing everything you need to stay posted across the tournament.

Nine’s commentary team is hosted by Roz Kelly, with expert comments from former Australian captain Mark Taylor.

Mark Taylor said: “The race to win the 2023 World Cup is wide open, with so many countries genuinely in the running. 

“Australia are right in the mix to win their sixth World Cup title and will improve with the inclusion of Cummins, Starc, Smith and Maxwell from recent lead-up matches. 

“India and Pakistan will be hard to beat in conditions that suit their play, but remember Australia won their first World Cup in India in 1987. The key for us will be settling on the final eleven and finding some consistency in the middle-order batting.

“I also feel that the spin bowling of Zampa and Agar could be pivotal to Australia’s chances.”

Nine’s talk stations have reached new record highs in live streaming, with the latest Triton data showing massive gains with 11.9 million session starts in August (up 14% year on year) and 11.4 million hours of listening (up 16% year on year) – both the highest on record for Nine.  

Head of content for Nine Radio, Greg Byrnes, said: “This data is further proof listeners have embraced talk radio through digital devices. Our station apps provide great sound, are easily accessible, and ensure listeners are always connected to the latest news, sport and opinion, no matter where they are. The future of commercial audio streaming is talk radio and we welcome those new listeners who join our conversation via a device each day.”

Nine’s Commercial Director for Digital Audio, Esther Carlsen, said: “With even more listeners streaming via our audio apps, combined with our strong total listening hours, it’s clear that Nine’s talk radio listeners are extremely loyal. This creates unrivaled opportunities for brands to target engaged listeners in a safe audio environment.”

“Also with Nine’s data and targeting capabilities, we are able to reach listeners as they move around our network during the week, enabling brands to deliver more targeted advertising and most importantly, a better listening experience.”

Building on its dominance from Gfk Survey 5 – which cemented Nine as the clear No.1 in streaming with cumulative audience up 2.2% across the network – there is no doubt the future of streaming is talk radio, with even more digital listeners tuning in and building loyalty with Nine’s live and local content.*

A ticket to the big dance is up for grabs in a colossal weekend of NRL and NRLW and Channel 9HD and 9Now is the only place you can see it all live and free, from Friday night.

NRL PRELIM FINALS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 7.00PM 
NRLW SUNDAY SEMI-FINALS BACK TO BACK 2.00PM
NSW CUP GRAND FINAL LIVE AND FREE ON 9NOW: NORTH SYDNEY BEARS V RABBITOHS

Gunning for a premiership hat-trick, the Penrith Panthers have their claws sharpened and ready to sink into a club that is no stranger to success, the Melbourne Storm, from 7.00pm.

These clubs have won the last four premierships, and a high-class battle of wits will play out on the field and in the coaches box between the Panthers father-son duo of Ivan and Nathan Cleary, and legendary Storm coach Craig Bellamy and the enigmatic Cameron Munster. 

Then on Saturday night the Cinderella stories of the 2023 season, the Brisbane Broncos and New Zealand Warriors, jockey for a Grand Final appearance from 7.00pm at Suncorp Stadium.

Energy, speed and power has turned untapped potential into what Queensland State of Origin Coach Billy Slater believes is premiership favouritism for the red-hot Broncos. However, they’ll be contending with the whole of New Zealand riding the Warriors wave into Brisbane as they push towards their first ever premiership. 

Nine’s Wide World of Sports will bring its Sunday best to this weekend’s rugby league coverage when it’s time to decide who will be in the NRLW Grand Final with two  semi-finals from 2.00pm. 

Plus on Sunday, 9Now will stream a NSW Cup Grand Final 100 years in the making, between the North Sydney Bears and South Sydney Rabbitohs, live and free from 3.00pm. These two foundation rugby league clubs last met in a Grand Final in 1926. 

Across the weekend, Wide World of Sports, the only place you can see every NRL finals game including the exclusive NRL Grand Final, will feature the best commentary team in the business: rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns, premiership-winning captains Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler, Paul Vautin, Paul Gallen and Darren Lockyer, and multiple premiership winners Phil Gould AM and Billy Slater. 

Your hosts will be James Bracey, Danika Mason and Allana Ferguson, with sideline reporters Emma Lawrence and Marlee Silva, and commentators Mat Thompson, Brenton Speed and Peter Psaltis.

Award-winning journalist and broadcaster Bill McDonald has been named as the new host of 4BC Mornings, completing the live and local line up across the revamped station. 

With more than 35 years’ media experience across news and sport, including coverage of Commonwealth and Olympic Games, and a Clarion Award for his coverage of the 2008 Gap floods, McDonald is the perfect choice to take the mantle from Ray Hadley. 

4BC Content Manager, Max Dudley said: “I’m excited to welcome Bill McDonald as our new Mornings host, adding another program to our live and local offering on 4BC. It’s a big year ahead for Brisbane with council and state elections, not to mention the ongoing build towards the 2032 Games, and I have no doubt Bill will champion the issues that matter most to our listeners.” 

4BC is now the only Brisbane radio station with live and local programming from 5.30am to 7pm, five days a week. 

On his new role, Bill McDonald said: “I’m excited to host 4BC Mornings to connect with our listeners, discussing issues that are impacting our own neighbourhoods every single day. I have lived in Brisbane my whole life and will stand up for where we live as much as possible.”

Dudley also paid tribute to Ray Hadley, saying: “Eight years ago Ray added 4BC to his large list of network stations and has made a huge impact in Brisbane and across Queensland. We’re delighted Ray will still be heard across the Brisbane airwaves during the Continuous Call Team, State of Origin, NRL Finals and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.”

Bill McDonald starts as host of 4BC Mornings today, Monday 18 September.
