Ryan Bridge

Reporter/presenter Ryan Bridge works mainly in television news and radio. Before landing an anchor role on The AM Show in 2021, he was a regular stand-in for anchor Duncan Garner. Bridge's TV credits include presenting and reporting for current affairs show Story, guest presenting on Newshub Nation and reporting for Newshub Live at 6pm. On the radio, he has been a newsreader for Radio New Zealand's The Morning Report, and hosted Magic Talk's drive slot. Bridges left The AM Show in late 2023, shortly before its cancellation; he was set to return to early mornings in mid 2024, as host of Newstalk ZB's Early Edition show.

Because it’s a three-hour show you really need two solid hours at your desk studying in order to (prepare) for all of those interviews and to try to keep up with everything that’s happened overnight. Ryan Bridge on waking early to prepare for The AM Show, in an NZ Herald interview, 16 September 2021
