Lisa Millar has announced she will leave ABC News Breakfast after five years as co-host. “After five years of sharing this couch with awesome people and people behind the scenes as well, it is time to say farewell,” Millar told viewers on Wednesday morning. “I’m going to be moving full-time over to the content division of the ABC, where I’m going to be having more adventures with Back Roads and Muster Dogs .
Muster Dogs keeps getting bigger and bigger. So much to do, and exciting new projects. That means it’s goodbye.
You’ve got me for a little while longer, though.” Millar, 55, also took to Instagram to share the news: “It’s a tough decision, but I’m excited about what the future holds,” she said. She went on to thank the viewers for their passion and loyalty.
“I’m going to miss the fact that you have invited me into your homes every morning, and you’ve shared your stories with us.” Before permanently joining the broadcaster’s breakfast show in 2019, Millar spent a decade posting as a bureau chief in London and Washington DC. She won a Walkley award for her investigative journalism in 2005.
Her final appearance on News Breakfast will be on August 23. More to come. Find out the next TV, streaming series and movies to add to your must-sees.
