10 News First sports presenter Matt Burke will depart the Sydney news desk after 11 years with the broadcaster.
According to media reports, he has been let go by the network due to cost cutting.
“After more than a decade, Matt Burke, sports presenter for 10 News First Sydney will be departing the Network at the end of the year,” a 10 spokesperson told TV Tonight.
“Matt joined Network 10 in 2013 as an expert commentator for the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia and a few months later was appointed as the permanent sports presenter for 10 News First Sydney.
“Matt fronted all of Network 10’s Rugby broadcasts from 2013 until 2019 and was integral in the Network’s live coverage of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
“Matt is one of the most versatile and experienced sports presenters on Australian television and his passion and enthusiasm for sports, but particularly Rugby is remarkable.
“His infectious love of sport, great sense of humour and optimism will be missed in the newsroom.
“Matt leaves Network 10 with our sincere thanks and warmest wishes for the future.”
He will remain on air until the end of 2024.
