Hack (radio program)
Hack is the title of a current affairs radio program on Australian national radio broadcaster Triple J.
The show began at the start of 2004 after a shake up of the station's programming. The previous current affairs program, The Morning Show from 9 a.m. to midday, was axed and the half-hour Hack was its replacement, from 5.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
It was hosted by Steve Cannane up until mid-2006. At this point, Cannane left Triple J radio to become the current affairs reporter for their jtv program. Kate O'Toole was Cannane's replacement as host of the radio program.[1]
One of Cannane's stories on Hack, "Petrol Sniffing, Pill Testing and the Cost of War", earned him a Walkley Award. He won the Walkley Award for Broadcast Interviewing in 2006.[2]
The current Executive Producer is James West. It is hosted by Tom Tilley. The Executive Producer is Kaitlyn Sawrey while Michael Atkin completes the Andrew Olle Scholarship. The current reporting team includes Irene Scott, John Barrington, Patrick Abboud, Alex Mann & Claire Aird.
Each Friday, Tom Tilley presents a segment on ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24 discussing what topics the show covered throughout the week.
