TV3 HAS CONFIRMED that Vincent Browne will be stepping down as presenter of the Tonight programme from the end of July.
The veteran journalist’s decision comes after 10 years at the helm of one of the country’s most influential current affairs programmes.
The station says Browne is doing so for personal reasons. Browne has not made any comment on the matter.
Bill Malone, director of programming at TV3 said:
“Vincent has made an extraordinary contribution to Irish journalism and to Irish broadcasting. As the presenter of the Tonight Show, Vincent encapsulated the mood of the nation during unprecedented economic and political turmoil. His commitment to highlighting inequality and injustices in Irish life has been unwavering over his journalistic career”.
“TV3 would like to take this opportunity to thank Vincent for his contribution to the station and to wish him the very best.”
TV3 has not said whether the show will continue without Browne.

@Figo murphy: I know how my own name is spelt.. Shouldn’t you be doing something more productive with your time than posting ridiculous comments like this
@Jonny: ah bless, too much booze as a teen I’d say.
How are they still able to mess with monkeys like that?
@Stephen Small: You just get them drunk and they’ll let you do anything.
I would suggest teenagers who drink regularly to excess would have a lower level of brain activity before they started drinking
I not think that drink harm brain me ok
Ah so that’s what’s wrong with me brain!!
Ahhhh Jonny
That explains everything.
No bottle or can health warnings, no education, no penalties for underage drinking, no support for those who become addicted.
I could never become an alcoholic after what I saw it do to relatives. Meanwhile my friends never shut up about how funny and grand drink it. Oh well …
So everyone in Mediterranean Europe has stunted brain growth? After all most of those countries have a culture of drinking wine with meals from an early age.
have your say
