Kate Dundas director of radio for the ABC has announced her resignation and will leave the public broadcaster in July after five yeas in the role.

During her tenure the ABC audience grew to record levels, growing from a combined share of 21.2 per cent and a combined reach of 3.8m people in 2008 to a combined share of 24.6 per cent and a combined reach of 4.6m today.

“Kate has been an inspired leader of ABC Radio and a much valued member of the ABC Executive over the last five years. She always said she felt five years was about the right period of time to serve as the head of Radio – and I am disappointed I have been unable to change her mind about that,” said Mark Scott ABC managing director, in a statement.
