Sydney’s top-rating radio station, the Macquarie Radio Network‘s 2GB has announced a raft of new shows to be added to its schedule.

The station has also announced its intentions to syndicate more of its programs to a wider national audience.

Up to ten new off-peak and weekend programs, covering various topics including business, finance, health, home renovating, sport, fishing and real estate, are to be launched in the coming months – accounting for around forty hours a week of programming – to further consolidate the station’s baby boomer following.

Some new names join the station in the revamp – including Deborah Thomas of The Australian Women’s Weekly, Simon Stevenson, Mark Braybrook and John Paul Young.

Media blog Mumbrella has listed the new programs to be added to the schedule over the coming months:

Mumbrella also reports that a new media discussion program, Media Matters, will be added to the lineup at a date to be announced.
