Presented by Simon Mercep and Susie Ferguson. The most authoritative and comprehensive coverage of local and world events to be found on morning radio happens from 6.00am to 9.00am every weekday on Radio New Zealand National. Simon Mercep and the team go behind the headlines to cover the breaking stories, interview the news-makers and background the events summarised in Morning Report's full half-hourly news bulletins. In addition to its wide-ranging network of overseas correspondents and contacts, who provide unparalleled coverage of international events, Morning Report draws on the formidable resources of Radio New Zealand's nationwide news staff, including our Parliamentary team, Wellington-based special correspondents and regional reporters. This is the programme that politicians and newsmakers are happy to get up early for - and if they're in the news, you'll hear their side of the story on Morning Report!
