Jon has worked at ITN for 45 years and will leave the programme as ‘the longest-serving presenter in the show’s history.’

The 73-year-old will still continue to work with Channel 4 in 2022.

In a statement, he said: “After three incredible decades on Channel 4 News, it is time to move on. I am excited by many things I want to accomplish but I have to say I have enjoyed every minute of my time with the programme.”

I am overwhelmed by the wonderful things that have been said by so many online today.
Tha day comes when one has to move on – that day for me comes on December 31st. I had no idea of the appreciation of our work on Channel 4News – I am humbled by the comments from so very many.
