Pat Pillai, the longtime anchor of eNews Prime Time, has announced in a statement released this morning that he will be leaving the organization.
This comes as eTV prepares for its biggest ever prime time shakeup that would see the English bulletin pushed back to 8:30pm.
Other than anchoring the Tuesday and Thursday editions of eNews Prime Time, Pat also hosted the chat show, Inside Out with Pat Pillai, which aired on the then eNews Channel during the channels early years.
No replacement has been named yet, but Cathy Mohlahlana continues to anchor the Monday and Wednesday editions of the bulletin.
The timing of the departure cpuld not have been worse: viewers will now not only have to adjust to a major time change, but will also have to get used to a new on screen product as well, which could alienate viewers that are used to things being a certain way. With a time change alone, you would try your best to keepbsome sort of consistency going.
Pat Pillai anchors his final bulletin on Thursday, February 26th, about a decade since first joining.
