The Wall Street Journal Radio Network announced plans to launch a new, live evening show called “The Daily Wrap from The Wall Street Journal with Michael Castner.”
Scheduled to debut in spring 2011, the broadcast will originate from the Journal’s headquarters in New York City and air live each weekday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST.
On “The Daily Wrap,” Castner will break down the major news and developments of the day on a range of topics, including U.S. and world news, politics, entertainment, health, technology, sports and more — with contributions and analysis from Wall Street Journal reporters, editors and opinion writers as well as news makers and special guests.
“The Daily Wrap will showcase the breadth and depth of reporting and resources from across Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal to serve high-quality news and analysis, interviews and opinion across myriad topics,” said Nancy Abramson, executive director of The Wall Street Journal Radio Network, in a statement. “The show will complement the Journal brand — expanded content and scope, fascinating stories and new ideas — and provide an exciting new opportunity and alignment for advertisers.”
Castner currently serves as a host on WRNO-FM in New Orleans and WJBO-AM in Baton Rouge, La.
