Exciting changes for ABC's News Breakfast: What to expect from latest addition
- Replies 0
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has always been a staple for many Australians seeking daily news and current affairs.
With its commitment to quality journalism, it's no surprise that the announcement of a new co-presenter for the popular ABC's News Breakfast program has generated quite a buzz among viewers.
Bridget Brennan, a familiar face to many ABC viewers, is set to bring a fresh dynamic to the morning news desk.
Her career with ABC began in 2010, and she has been revealed as the new co-host of News Breakfast following Lisa Millar's decision to leave the role.
The announcement, made on a bright Thursday morning, marks a significant shift in the program's lineup and has been met with enthusiasm from both the audience and Brennan's colleagues.
Brennan expressed her excitement about the new opportunity, stating, 'It’s been a dream come true to work with Michael and Lisa, who I’ve been watching for years and to sit alongside you, learn from you both and become deep and wonderful friends has been a privilege.'
Her heartfelt words reflect the camaraderie and respect evident within the ABC team, and this sense of community often translates into the program's quality.
Starting her journey as a cadet journalist, Brennan has climbed the ranks within ABC, holding significant positions as the broadcaster’s Indigenous Affairs Editor and National Indigenous Affairs correspondent.
Her extensive experience and dedication to her craft have made her a respected figure in journalism, particularly in her coverage of Indigenous affairs.
She has brought important stories and perspectives to the forefront of national discourse.
The transition comes weeks after Lisa Millar, a part of the ABC family since 1993, announced her departure from the breakfast show.
Millar, 55, is set to focus on other projects within the ABC, including narrating the Logie-nominated series Muster Dogs, guest presenting Back Roads, and co-hosting the podcast The Newsreader.
Her decision to step back from News Breakfast follows a challenging period where she faced unwarranted criticism from online bullying.
In other news, ABC Radio Sydney presenter James Valentine has made a remarkable comeback to the airwaves just three months after undergoing cancer surgery.
Valentine was initially set to have a complex operation to remove a significant portion of his oesophagus and part of his stomach due to a four-centimetre tumour.
Fortunately, he underwent a less invasive procedure instead. You can read more about his journey here.
