Host of ABC’s Media Watch Paul Barry has revealed he will leave the show this year.
The 72-year-old has hosted the media commentary show for the past 11 years and will host his final episode in December.
“It’s a great privilege to host Media Watch and I’ve enjoyed it enormously,” Mr Barry said on Thursday.
“But I’ve been in the hot seat for 11 years and it’s time to give someone else a go.
He said he was “hanging up the mic” at the end of the year, but there was still “lots of fun” to be had before then.
“Thanks to all our viewers. I’ll be with you until December. And I’m sure the program will go on to great things without me.”
Mr Barry was initially an investigative reporter before joining Media Watch in 2000.
He officially began his hosting stint in 2013.
