BBC presenter steps down after 35 years as it is 'time for change'

BBC presenter Mike Liggins is waving goodbye to his role after over three decades.

Mike is a beloved presenter on Look East – the BBC’s regional television news programme for the East of England. He’s been a part of the broadcasting service for 35 years, but after October 6 he will be stepping down.

The senior broadcast journalist shared the news of his departure on Twitter.

‘After 35 years, I’ve decided to leave the BBC,’ he began.

‘Time for a change. But what an adventure! I feel very lucky.

‘I’ll be on Look East till Oct 6th ..and after that I haven’t got a clue!

‘For now, I just want to say thanks to all my colleagues and to you the viewer/follower. Mike x’

He accompanied the tweet with a photo of him when he started at the BBC, and a more recent snap.

Look East airs at 1:30 pm, 6:30 pm and 10:30 pm on BBC East and Cambridgeshire. You can also watch the most recent episodes on BBC iPlayer.
