Macquarie Media has named respected business journalist Brooke Corte as the new host Money News, replacing Ross Greenwood.

After spending three years as host of the First Edition national breakfast show on Sky News, Brooke became the face of the Your Money channel’s flagship program, Your Money Live, dedicated to personal finance and economic news.
Brooke says, “We’re at a crucial juncture as a country in terms of finance and business, so I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to host a dedicated money program in 2020. After the events of this year, it’s clear there has never been a more important time to understand the value of our money and the stories that impact on our household finances.”
“It is a real privilege to join Macquarie Radio, with the outstanding broadcasters on air right around the country, and I look forward to joining them.”
