Virginia Trioli Instagram – ABC Radio Melbourne presenter Virginia Trioli has announced she will be stepping away from talkback radio for a new position hosting an arts television program.
Trioli will finish up on Friday September 15th ahead of the launch of a new high-profile arts interview series, which will broadcast on ABC TV in 2024.
Trioli, who has also filled in as a presenter on Q&A in recent months, said she came to the decision to leave radio after a short break from broadcasting earlier this year.
“The time has come after decades of working to the hardest alarms that the ABC has to offer on News Breakfast and on Mornings,” she said.
“And with my family needing a little bit more from me, now is the time to work and live a little differently.”
She took on the role as Mornings presenter in 2019 when Jon Faine stepped down, in what she said was a difficult time for Melbourne.
“I started just as bushfire smoke filled our city, we then headed into the dreadful Black Summer fires and then straight into COVID,” she said.
“It’s been an honour and a privilege to be here with the audience through some of the years that the city of Melbourne has gone through.”
