Sunday presenter and long-time foreign correspondent, Cameron Bennett, is leaving TVNZ after 24 years.
Bennett will continue on air until the end of August.
He says he has parted on excellent terms with TVNZ and his decision to leave was sparked by format changes to the Sunday programme.
"I feel I have given a lot to TVNZ, and, in turn, the company has invested a lot in me."
"I count it as a real privilege to have reported on some of the most defining news events and news-makers of the last quarter-century. I've been fortunate - it's been a rich, incredibly rewarding career."
TVNZ Head of News and Current Affairs, Anthony Flannery, has warmly acknowledged "Cameron's years of exemplary service" as a senior journalist and foreign correspondent.
"Over the years, he has come to embody the classic virtues of a real newsman, and he has been a much-respected and well-liked colleague to us all," Flannery said.
