Henry quits radio job

Television presenter Paul Henry is to leave his job as a host on news and talkback station Radio Live this month, though he will continue to do some work for the station.

Brent Impey, chief executive of Radio Live owner CanWest MediaWorks, said Henry was under pressure from rival employer TVNZ to commit to it fulltime.

Radio Live will try out six to 10 possible replacements before Christmas.
