Director of News at TV3 Andrew Hanlon is stepping down from his position after 18 years with the station.
Andrew has been with the television station since it first began broadcasting in 1998, and was responsible for the setting up a number of popular TV3 programmes including TV3 News, Ireland AM, Xpose and Tonight With Vincent Browne.
He also helped launch the careers of some of Ireland’s favourite presenters including Lorraine Keane and Amanda Byram.
Speaking of his departure Andrew said, “Having been with the business since inception, and through three stages of ownership, the time has come to pass on the baton.
“TV3 has been an incredible experience for me over the years and I leave with a heavy heart, having made so many friends over my 18 years at the broadcaster.
“But new and exciting challenges await and I will continue to work in the media business for many years to come. I would like to thank Pat Kiely for his support and my other close colleagues at TV3 who I will miss dearly.
“I would also like to thank Tony Hanway and his colleagues in Virgin Media who have been great support for the TV3 business as new owners. I am delighted to be leaving TV3 in such good shape and exciting times whilst equally excited about my own future plans.”
Andrew previously worked with 98FM and Independent Network News.
