Confirmed: Vincent Browne is stepping down from his TV3 show
The station says Browne is doing so for personal reasons.

The veteran journalist’s decision comes after 10 years at the helm of one of the country’s most influential current affairs programmes.
The station says Browne is doing so for personal reasons. Browne has not made any comment on the matter.
Bill Malone, director of programming at TV3 said:
