Alan Kohler, the ABC's long-running finance journalist, will retire in December after three decades presenting the network's nightly financial segment, according to The Guardian.
Now 74, Kohler has appeared on the ABC's 7pm news bulletin for close to a quarter of a century, closing each broadcast with his signature line, "And that's finance," since 2002.
A widely recognized figure in Australian finance journalism
Kohler said he is stepping down to spend more time with his family, including his six grandchildren. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said Kohler would be "really missed," reflecting the broadcaster's standing among Australian public figures and policymakers.
Kohler became known for his distinctive presentation style, including detailed graphs used to explain financial and economic trends to a general television audience.
Details on who will succeed Kohler in his role, or how the ABC plans to handle the transition, were not included in the available report.
