ABC Radio Melbourne loses its Afternoons presenter
Melbourne broadcaster Jacinta Parsons has announced she’s stepping down as host of ABC Radio’s Afternoons program.
Parsons told listeners at the start of today’s show that “my life has gone through some changes over the past couple of months”.
“I’m desperately sad to say I’m needing to scale back from the Afternoons show so I can keep up with my other responsibilities,” she said.
“I’m grateful to the ABC for their support and very excited to say that I’m not leaving entirely – and will continue to join Brian Nankervis every single Friday for the Friday Revue.”
Her final show will be next Thursday 27 July.
Shelley Hadfield, ABC Radio Melbourne’s content director, said: “Jacinta was a lifeline to so many listeners at the height of the covid pandemic.
“We know Jacinta is going to be sorely missed on Afternoons, but she will continue to be an integral part of the station.”
A new Afternoons host will be announced in the next week.
