Macdonald worked extensively for Real Radio North East (formerly Century Radio), presenting the Legends Football Phone In, alongside Bernie Slaven and Micky Horswill.

Macdonald also previously presented his own interview series for the station, Upfront With Malcolm Macdonald, talking to ex-professional players.
He also writes a regular column for the retro football magazine BACKPASS (www.backpassmagazine.co.uk).
In 2011, Macdonald was strongly critical of Newcastle's decision to change their stadium name from St James' Park to the Sports Direct Arena. Macdonald said: "It seems antagonistic. It's not only part of the football club’s heritage, but part of the heritage of the city."
