National Radio appoints new host

National Radio has appointed a new host for its New Zealand music programme, Home Grown.

Sarah McMullen replaces Liz Barry on the Saturday afternoon show from September 24. Barry's electronica slot Night Manoeuvres will continue.

National Radio fill-in presenter Bryan Crump will start in a new role, as presenter on weekday evenings from 7pm to midnight.

A National Radio spokesman said most evening programmes, such as Late Edition and Windows on the World, would be retained, but some could be moved to different times.
