Clinton Maynard to host 2GB Drive
Reporter
Award-winning talk radio journalist and broadcaster Clinton Maynard has been announced as the new host of the 2GB Drive program in 2025.
Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard will launch on Monday 27 January 2025, airing from 3.00-6.00pm.
Having covered some of the biggest stories of recent years, Maynard has won four ACRAs, including the Brian White Award for Excellence in Journalism.
Maynard says “When I was 15, I walked into 2GB’s studio as a work experience kid in love with talk radio and spent a week with the Drive Show.”
“To be appointed to present that same show, three decades later, is a dream come true. I can’t wait to talk about what matters to our Sydney listeners every day and have a few laughs along the way.”
Maynard joined the 2UE newsroom as a cadet journalist in 1997 and went on to become a crime reporter, political reporter and eventually the News Director and Content Director at the station.
As a presenter, he has hosted news talk programs on 2UE, Macquarie Sports Radio and 2GB, where most recently he has been the Weekday Overnights host and the regular fill-in presenter on 2GB Drive.

Mr Quiet Achiever Well done Clint, you’ve earned it
Networking Australia Overnight via Melbourne like they are doing now??
Clinton is a great operator, he has stood the test of time and this appointment is well overdue. Congrats!
A pure talent thst deserves a Primary slot like this
This bloke has been around forever and knows his stuff. A proper radio journalist, unlike previous drive hosts who have just sailed on their coat tails. I enjoy listening to him, his style is good for drove, not intense or trying to lead the issues but rather a recap, which, of course is important of an afternoon.
Well done, hope people give him a solid chance and he gets the ratings he deserves.
Always been a fan of Clinton. A great broadcaster and all round good guy.
Hope the show goes well.
Congrats Cliton on your new appointment to the drive show.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to listen as I’m still working till 17 30.
Just hope your replacement on overnight will be someone decent

I hope they don’t continue to network the overnight shift from Melbourne.
We need our own program not something that’s dished out of Melbourne
