RTÉ 2FM presenter Tara Kumar has announced she is leaving the station after six years to pursue her career in London.
Every Sunday to Thursday evening Kumar presented a new music show which shone a spotlight on up-and-coming Irish artists.
Speaking about her decision to leave Kumar said: "This show has been my constant for the last few years, and I am so grateful for all of the incredible artists I've had the honour of playing, interviewing and discovering.
"Ireland is so full of so much talent and I’m so proud of how thriving the music industry is today. Music has always and will continue to forever be my first love. Thank you to every single person who has trusted me. So now, it’s time for a new adventure in London. Slán go fóill a chairde."
Head of RTÉ 2FM, Dan Healy said: "We are very sad Tara is leaving 2FM and yet very excited for her as she makes her way in London.
"Tara’s show on 2FM was a must-listen for anyone curious about new and good music. Tara is a taste-maker and will fly wherever she is."
Kumar will present her final show on Wednesday 28 September.
RTÉ 2FM will be announcing Kumar's replacement in the coming weeks.
