DES Cahill yesterday announced he is stepping down as host of RTÉ's Sunday night GAA highlights programme.
After 15 seasons at the helm of The Sunday Game, Cahill said he was quitting to "go to live games again".
The Dublin-born broadcaster is to take up the hot-seat on both Saturday Sport and Sunday Sport on RTÉ Radio 1.
In a statement, he said: "The reason I want a change is very straightforward - I want to go to live games again.
"It's been a privilege to host The Sunday Game for the past 15 seasons, but I miss the sense of fun and anticipation as you make your way to a match, the feeling of tension and excitement, the roar of the crowd.
"I can't wait to experience that again when I'm fronting Saturday and Sunday Sport live from some of the most iconic venues in the country."
Mr Cahill also said he was "hugely grateful and in debt to the fantastic team on The Sunday Game, who work so hard to bring the programme to air every week throughout the championship".
"I've no doubt that their passion and commitment to deliver for the audience will continue in the seasons ahead with a new presenter in the hot-seat," he said.
RTÉ said Joanne Cantwell will continue to anchor The Sunday Game Live with the new presenter of the programme expected to be announced in 2023.
