A new two and a half hour TV / Radio show, “MTV Hits Weekly Hot30 Countdown,” will premier on both Foxtel’s MTV Hits Channel 808 and on the Today Network, on Sunday December 5th at 6pm.

The hosts are MTV VJ Erin McNaught & Today Network DJ Matty Acton.

The multi-platform co-production will air nationally across television, radio and online with Erin and Matty interviewing the biggest artists from the Hot30 headquarters in Sydney. The show promises to fill its two and half hours with 30 of the hottest music hits and clips, with the latest celebrity news and gossip in and around the world of pop.

Rebecca Batties, General Manager of Music Brands at MTV Networks Australia said, “The Today Network and MTV Hits are two brands that are perfectly suited for each other. Their massive radio audience gives us a tremendous opportunity to introduce MTV Hits to a nation of pop music-loving fans, and co-developing the MTV Hits Weekly Hot30 Countdown as a radio, TV and online property is a perfect fit for our newest, locally produced channel.”
