David Speers is committing to ABC as the host of Insiders – but not at the moment.
Speers said in Tweets published yesterday that he will leave his political editor job at SKY News to relocate to ABC’s Melbourne studios in 2020, with executive producer Sam Clark joining him as well. He stressed that there was much work cut out for him over the rest of 2019.
Current Insiders host Barrie Cassidy had previously confirmed Speers was slated to take over after he himself makes his farewell episode on 9 June 2019. To compensate for the sudden developments, Annabel Crabb and Fran Kelly have been enlisted to host the show for the meantime.
