Pat Brittenden is a New Zealand broadcaster who works for The Radio Network, as a talkback host for Newstalk ZB[1] working Thursday, Friday and Saturday, midnight to 6 am. He also recently replaced Oliver Driver who ironically replaced him Sunday evenings, 9pm to midnight.
In his career, Brittenden has worked for both music and talk stations including More FM Auckland, Coastline FM (now More FM Tauranga), Life FM and most recently as the weekend breakfast announcer at Classic Hits. He now works for talk station Newstalk ZB.
As of November Brittenden has been employed by TVNZ to appear on Breakfast in the lead up to the 2011 NZ Election. His area of interest is the upcoming electoral referendum to coincide with the election. It is unclear how long this weekly position will be for.
It was announced on an internal email recently that Brittenden has resigned his position at Newstalk ZB as of the end of 2011. Brittenden is said to be wanting to pursue some personal business opportunities. He has been replaced by Tim Roxborough.
Pat Brittenden has also been seen on New Zealand's small screens with small guest parts in Shortland Street[2] including a recurring role as security guard Merv, 2008 political satire The Pretender, TV3 children's drama Secret Agent Man and back in 1999 as a VJ on Juice TV.
He was educated at Sacred Heart College and St Peter's College.
