ST. LOUIS, December 9, 2024 — Nine PBS recently announced that frequent guest panelists Sarah Fenske and Joe Holleman will officially be regular hosts of its flagship show Donnybrook, replacing Ray Hartmann. Fenske and Holleman join the show’s other permanent hosts, Charlie Brennan, Bill McClellan, Wendy Wiese, and Alvin Reid. Airing every Thursday at 7 pm, Donnybrook tackles hot issues and stories in the St. Louis news in a high-energy, no-holds-barred debate among St. Louis Journalism veterans.
For those who can’t get enough of the discussion, Nine PBS has launched a new, corresponding digital series called Donnybrook Last Call. Available on YouTube every Thursday directly following Donnybrook, Last Call allows the hosts to keep debating additional topics after the regular broadcast.
“With its civic discourse around local issues, Donnybrook remains a perennial favorite at Nine PBS, and the audience has long been asking for more,” said Vice President and Chief Content Officer Aja Williams. “We’re thrilled to be able to expand the content into a new digital series, and to welcome Sarah and Joe permanently to the table.”
Watch Donnybrook Thursdays on Nine PBS or stream anytime on the PBS App, YouTube, or ninepbs.org.
Donnybrook is supported by the Betsy and Thomas O. Patterson Foundation and Design Aire Heating and Cooling. Donnybrook Last Call is supported by Design Aire Heating and Cooling.
