Listeners to Newstalk will be sad to hear that its popular Breakfast show presenter Ivan Yates is set to leave the station, while he will also be ceasing any other media commitments such as his presenting roles with TV3 and as a columnist with the Irish Independent.
Yates has cited personal reasons for his decision to leave; "I began working at Newstalk seven years ago this month and have hugely enjoyed my time at the station," he said.
"My decision to step back from working in the media is a personal one and I remain a committed supporter of Independent Radio and Newstalk in particular.
"I will miss working in Newstalk's innovative and creative environment and hope that I will have the opportunity to return at some stage in the future."
Newstalk have wished him well, while Yates' last day with the radio station will be on July 1st.
