“We are incredibly excited to launch the new radio venture on our website, and delighted Miranda is hosting,” editor of The Daily Telegraph Christopher Dore said.
“Miranda doesn’t shy away from expressing her opinion, and that makes for terrific radio. She also has impeccable contacts, and will be able to draw on the news-breaking journalists from The Tele’s newsroom as it all happens. It’s pretty exciting.”
The show launches as Nielsen’s October digital audience figures revealed DailyTelegraph.com.au is Australia’s best performing news website.
