Sean Plunket

Presenter, Reporter

After a 14-year run co-presenting Morning Report, Sean Plunket left Radio New Zealand in 2010, to take on morning shifts for Newstalk ZB, then Radio Live. Television jobs dominated his early career, including a "dream job" reporting for Fair Go — where a painter once threw a ladder at him. Plunket has worked on Holmes, and been senior political reporter for TV3. Mid-2014 saw the debut of Prime Television's current affairs show Prime Time with Sean Plunket. After departing as host of talkback radio station MagicTalk, he founded online radio station The Platform in late 2021, where Plunket hosts the breakfast slot.

The only two jobs I ever dreamed of doing were Fair Go and Morning Report. That opportunity didn't come along very often, so I put my hat in the ring. Sean Plunket, in an interview with the Herald on Sunday, 28 September 2008
