Newstalk ZB announces new line up for arvo show

NZME has announced its new line up for Newstalk ZB’s Afternoons programme, which sees Matt Heath teaming up with Tyler Adams from October 7.

Heath is an experienced broadcaster, actor and author, and was the lead singer of Kiwi band Deja Voodoo. He currently co-hosts Radio Hauraki’s Breakfast show and regularly commentates on NZME’s sports platform, The Alternative Commentary Collective.

Adams is a radio presenter and executive producer with more than a decade’s experience as a senior reporter at Newstalk ZB and has covered some of New Zealand’s most significant news events including Pike River and the Christchurch Earthquake.

Jason Winstanley, NZME Chief Audio Officer, says Heath and Adams will be a fantastic pairing, bringing
something new and unique to loyal listeners of the Newstalk ZB Afternoons programme.

“As the country’s top commercial radio station, Newstalk ZB has hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners across the country, and I know Matt and Tyler will perfectly complement our talented line up of hosts across all day parts. They are both smart, talented broadcasters and they have terrific ideas and an infectious energy, which I know our audience will enjoy. I am looking forward to officially welcoming them both to Newstalk ZB for their first day on the air next month,” he says.

Heath says, “I have loved my time at Radio Hauraki and the Matt and Jerry Show – it has been the best job l’ve ever had with the best people I have ever worked with. I am sad to leave and will miss everyone dearly and I’ll probably cry on air during my last show. But it’s time to move on to another challenge and I am very excited to be joining Newstalk ZB Afternoons with my buddy Tyler. It’s going to be fun!”

Adams adds, “I’m super excited to team up with Matt. I’ve admired his creativity, intelligence, and roguish sense of fun for a long time. We’re both eager to dive into the conversations that matter most to everyday Kiwis. Expect lively debates, unconventional perspectives, and, most importantly, plenty of laughs along the way. I can’t wait to bring a fresh vibe and new energy to Newstalk ZB Afternoons.”
