\u201cI\u2019m grateful to our audience who have welcomed me into their homes each morning. It\u2019s been a privilege and an honour to be part of compassionate broadcasting \u2014 creating space for all voices, and being trusted to hold those conversations with empathy, humility, and respect.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was always a privilege, never a right. I leave with gratitude, proud of what we\u2019ve achieved together, and thankful for the trust and support of our viewers over the past six years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Breakfast hosts Chris Chang, Jenny-May Clarkson and Daniel Faitaua.<\/p>\n
Chief news and content officer Nadia Tolich added Clarkson brought connection and compassion to the role. <\/p>\n
\u201cJenny-May is a talented broadcaster who has shown an amazing ability to connect with audiences and capture raw emotion on screen, showing empathy with communities often in tragic situations, like through TVNZ\u2019s award-winning Cyclone Gabrielle coverage.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s broadcast live and breaking news, helmed Commonwealth Games coverage and played a pivotal role in delivering domestic Netball free-to-air once again. I know New Zealanders will miss her presence on the Breakfast couch each morning and we all appreciate the effort she has given to this role.\u201d <\/p>\n
TVNZ said it will commence a process to appoint a new Breakfast presenter. <\/p>\n
