Uhlmann to present AM as Trioli stays at ABC1 ABC journalist Virginia Trioli has reversed a decision to leave ABC1's breakfast television show to present flagship radio program AM. Trioli will remain at ABC News Breakfast due to family reasons, the public broadcaster said in a statement today. Former senior political editor for 7.30 Chris Uhlmann will now present AM beginning Monday February 10, replacing Tony Eastley, who will move to presenting duties at ABC News 24 from mid-next month. The announcement comes less than two weeks after the ABC said Trioli would return to radio to take up the position. Uhlmann, who left 7.30 last year to make a documentary on the Rudd-Gillard years, said he was honoured to present AM. "AM has been the standard-bearer of ABC current affairs for nearly half a century," he said. I am honoured and delighted to be asked to present it. Tony Eastley leaves big shoes to fill but I will work hard to ensure that I maintain the excellence of the program.
