An ABC host has announced she will be leaving the broadcaster after 17 years, with her last bulletin scheduled for later this week.
Karina Carvalho revealed in an interview with The Australian that she had quit her job as the ABC News channel presenter.
She is due to deliver her final news bulletin during Wednesday’s program.
“The ABC will always have a special place in my heart, I’ve been able to meet and work with so many talented people,” she told The Australian.
“Now is the right time to venture into the next phase of my career and I’m excited to see what’s around the corner.
“I wish my colleagues at the ABC nothing but the best.”
Ms Carvalho anchored the ABC news program in Brisbane for five years and has co-hosted ABC News Breakfast in Melbourne.
