Prime Minister To Host Radio Live Show Tomorrow

Prime Minister John Key will be hosting a one-hour radio show this Friday, 30th September from 2pm on RadioLIVE.

In a first for RadioLIVE, the show will feature the Prime Minister, listeners and some very special guests including Sir Richard Branson and Richie McCaw.

General Manager of RadioLIVE Jana Rangooni says: “This has been done in the UK and US but not, to the best of my knowledge, in New Zealand.

"We hope to make this an annual event for whoever is the Prime Minister at the time.”

RadioLIVE listeners will have the opportunity to talk to John Key directly, sharing what’s on their minds, and putting questions to the Prime Minister via phone and www.radiolive.co.nz.
