Virginia Trioli, who has helped steer the ABC’s News Breakfast to be a major ratings success for the national broadcaster, is leaving morning TV for a new gig at ABC Melbourne’s Mornings show, where she will be replacing Jon Faine, who has held the seat for 22 years.
Virginia, who leaves behind popular co-host Michael Rowland, describes the move as a ‘once-in-a-career opportunity.
‘Melbourne — we’re going to make great radio together!,’ the star said.
The ABC has yet to confirm a co-host for Rowland – who has expressed his admiration of Trioli as she departs for a future in radio.
‘It has been an absolute pleasure, Virginia, spending the last nine years together on News Breakfast,’ he said. ‘It has been quite a ride.”
ABC News Breakfast has recently been beating Nine’s TODAY in the ratings, make it an increasingly buzzed-about how for the national broadcaster.
