Worldwide News Network (WWNN) is stepping into the weekend business and financial news space with the launch of WWNN Weekend Business Reports, a new series of reports delivering timely, insightful coverage of the markets, the economy and the companies driving growth.
The reports debuted on Hubbard Broadcasting’s WTOP in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Aug. 1, marking the first affiliate partnership for the new WWNN service.
WWNN Weekend Business Reports will go beyond traditional market updates, focusing on the industries and economic sectors shaping the future, including automotive, technology and entertainment. The reports will also spotlight breakthrough companies and emerging trends driving innovation.
Anchored and produced by veteran correspondents John Terrett and Jake Novak, the reports bring together decades of financial, business and international news experience, giving listeners the context they need to understand not just what is happening in the markets, but why it matters.
“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. That’s what makes these reports different.”
Terrett brings extensive international radio and television experience to WWNN. He has served as the New York correspondent for some of the world’s most respected news organizations, including the BBC and CNBC. For nearly eight years, Terrett reported from the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, providing a firsthand perspective on the markets, the economy and the companies moving them.
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, challenges conventional thinking and cuts through the noise to deliver clear, fact-driven insights listeners can understand and use. Whether examining economic shifts, market trends, corporate developments or geopolitical flashpoints, Novak brings experience, credibility and a bold perspective to every financial conversation.
The launch of WWNN Weekend Business Reports represents another major step in the expansion of Worldwide News Network, which is building a growing portfolio of original news and information programming for radio affiliates in the United States and around the world.
With WTOP as its first affiliate, WWNN Weekend Business Reports is positioned to become a go-to weekend source for listeners who want to know where the economy is headed, what industries are growing and which companies are shaping the future.
