Worldwide News Network is stepping into the weekend business and financial news space with the launch of WWNN Weekend Business Reports, a new series delivering timely coverage of markets, the economy, and growth-driving companies. The reports debuted on Hubbard Broadcasting’s WTOP in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Aug. 1, marking the first affiliate partnership for the new service.
WWNN Weekend Business Reports goes beyond traditional market updates to focus on sectors shaping the future, including automotive, technology, and entertainment, while spotlighting breakthrough companies and emerging trends. Anchored and produced by veteran correspondents John Terrett and Jake Novak, the reports bring together decades of financial, business, and international news experience.
“Our listeners want and need insightful financial and business news they can trust, and they depend on us to deliver it every day of the week,” said Julia Ziegler, Director of News and Programming at WTOP. “As the industry has contracted over the last few years, it has left a void. It is exciting to work with a company like WWNN that understands the importance of providing quality reporting seven days of the week.”
“WWNN is not simply filling the gap left by the demise of the CBS Radio Network,” said Lee Harris, Senior Vice President, News & Programming, Worldwide News Network. “We’re building something stronger and more relevant for today’s audience. John and Jake bring extraordinary experience and credibility, and more importantly, they know how to make complicated financial and economic stories understandable, compelling, and actionable.”
Terrett brings extensive international radio and television experience to WWNN, having served as New York correspondent for top news organizations like the BBC and CNBC. For nearly eight years, he reported from the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. With more than 25 years of broadcast experience, Novak brings a strategic lens to global markets and the economic and geopolitical forces influencing them. His analysis connects the dots and cuts through the noise to deliver clear insights listeners can use.
The launch represents another major step in expanding Worldwide News Network, which is building a portfolio of original news programming for radio affiliates worldwide. Stations interested in more information can contact Sue Falco at affiliation@redappleaudionetworks.com.
