Steve Cannane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Cannane is a news journalist and current affairs reporter for the Triple J, the Australian national youth government-funded Australian radio station (a division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation). He started as a reporter for The Morning Show, the (then) current affairs show. In 2003, after Francis Leach left the station, Cannane took on the position of host of the show.
This role only lasted a year after a shake-up at Triple J caused a shuffle of their programming. In this shake up Triple J's current affairs show changed format. The three hour Morning Show, which featured talkback and pre-recorded journalism intermixed with music from Triple J's playlists was replaced in 2004 with a half-hour program named Hack. The new show, which broadcasted from 5:30pm on weekdays was completely music free and dedicated to news, current affairs and similar pieces of radio journalism and talkback. After two and a half years as the host of Hack, Steve Cannane's last show was on July 7, 2006. Steve is currently working on jtv.
Steve won the 2006 Walkley Award for Broadcast Interviewing for his Hack stories on "Petrol Sniffing, Pill Testing and the Cost of War".
Steve has also worked on ABC's Pop Culture show Mondo Thingo with Amanda Keller and Robbie Buck.
Steve is temporarily presenting breakfast on ABC's Radio National [1] while the regular presenter pursues other projects.
