Macdonald worked extensively for Real Radio North East (formerly Century Radio), presenting the Legends Football Phone In, alongside Bernie Slaven and Micky Horswill. The programme was axed following the end of the 2011-12 season. Now broadcasting on Star radio continuing the format. 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."

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“... the ... radio station played a Chopin polonaise. On all the following days news bulletins were prefaced by Chopin—preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas. The war became for me a victory, known in advance, Chopin over Hitler.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
