Patricia Karvelas to leave ABC Radio National breakfast show

·

After three years, Patricia Karvelas has announced her departure from her hosting position at ABC Radio National’s flagship Breakfast program.

Having succeeded longtime presenter Fran Kelly at the start of 2022, Karvelas is set to transition to a new position as an anchor on ABC’s news channel in 2025, where she will focus on national political coverage.

“After a decade, it’s time to change it up, and I’m ready to lean into a new cross-platform role,” Karvelas said.

“I want to thank the ABC for the opportunities it has provided me through my decade here. It continues to be the most important public institution in the country, in my view, and I want to help build its connections with voters across the country.

“I’ll miss the Radio National audience enormously. There’s something magical about waking up when the country is asleep to bring the big news and conversations to the country.”

This move comes after a notable decline in listenership for the program.

Karvelas will continue to host Q+A and The Party Room and will also host a new politics podcast.
