Another ABC reporter announces shock departure
Another ABC reporter has announced their departure.
Music reporter Zan Rowe has announced her exit from ABC Breakfast after ten years on the program.
Rowe is the popular host of the Take Five series and has been a star for the ABC, on both radio and television.
"As just announced on news breakfast I'm gonna be winding up my weekly music news segment next week will be my final week," she told her followers in an Instagram story.
"I've been doing it for ten years," she continued.
"It's an idea that i pitched a decade ago. I've had such a good time doing it both in Sydney remotely and then on the couch in Melbourne.
"It's been amazing to bring music news but also music analysis and discussions around what's happening with artists these days," she added.
"It's been a real pleasure and privilege to do that."
The presenter then signed off by saying: "Take away one thing and you can make space for other things.
"2025 the land of opportunity."
Her departure follows Michael Rowland's announcement that he will also step down from the program on December 13, after 15 years on the show.
The ABC is yet to announce the new host for the breakfast show, but it is rumoured that the frontrunner to replace Rowland is former ABC correspondent James Glenday, who has been the presenter of ABC Canberra’s news bulletin for the past year.
Last month he announced his departure from the Canberra role, on the same day as Rowland's departure, with Glenday saying that he was looking forward to an “exciting new role” in 2025.
In just four months, the breakfast show have lost four of their experienced presenters, including Lisa Miller's departure in August, and Tony Armstrong's departure in September.
