‘We value her immensely’: Lisa Millar leaving ABC News Breakfast

Lisa Millar has announced she is leaving ABC News Breakfast next month, but she’ll be remaining with the national broadcaster.

After five years as host, Miller told viewers on Wednesday morning that she will leave the Breakfast show on August 23 to focus full-time on other ABC projects. Recently, Miller narrated the Logie-nominated Muster Dogs series, guest presented Back Roads, and is co-host of podcast The Newsreader. Millar will also present Muster Dogs: Where are they now? later this year.

“What a blast the past five years has been, whether it was interviewing prime ministers and global thought leaders or getting karaoke encouragement from my childhood idol Gladys Knight,’’ Millar said.
