Virginia Trioli to depart ABC News Breakfast and replace Jon Faine on Melbourne radio

Is ABC News Breakfast getting ready to go head to head with the commercial TV breakfast shows in 2020 with a new look cast and show?

ABC News Breakfast, please can you differentiate yourself from the dire commercial TV breakfasts shows. More news, less ‘entertainment’.

Good luck Virginia, however, saying that I am so sorry you are leaving Breakfast TV , you will be missed greatly.

Who would have thought the national denigrator would have replaced [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]

I will miss Virginia. ABC News Breakfast is the highlight of my day. Maybe I shall start listening to 774 instead.

I hope Virginia will still keep her ‘Work Wife’ status on the Pineapple Project podcast!

You will be missed but it is good to hear that you are doing something that is your passion and enjoy I think when you leave ABC should have Lisa and Micheal as they seem to go together well as while you were on leave they tried different people but they are the best and you would be leaving your position in good hands with Lisa Thanks Gail Sutton

I thought Virg was leaving in August. Its August! Please hurry up and go so I can starting watching the abc breakfast show again.

I can now watch ABC News Breakfast again and enjoy it…I couldn’t stand her fakeness and acting like the show was all about her, like we hung on every word she was going to say. She was more worried about her looks, than providing good light hearted journalism that you need at that time of the morning. She pretended to be so knowledgeable, however she was reading from a cue…crack the champagne…she has gone!!
