Jacinta Parsons announced on air today that she will step away from ABC Radio Melbourne’s Afternoons next Thursday July 27.

She said:

“Like so many, my life has gone through some changes over the past couple of months, which has meant I’ve had to make some changes to the way I can work,”

“I’m desperately sad to say I’m needing to scale back from the Afternoons show so I can keep up with my other responsibilities.  

“I’m grateful to the ABC for their support and very excited to say that I’m not leaving entirely – and will continue to join Brian Nankervis every single Friday for the Friday Revue.” 

ABC Radio Melbourne will announce a replacement in the next week.
