Peter Williams has been farewelled from Breakfast - the first of three hosts to leave the TVNZ show before the end of next week.
Williams, Breakfast's newsreader, is leaving along with hosts Rawdon Christie and Nadine Chalmers-Ross as part of a TVNZ shake-up that will see Hilary Barry and Jack Tame hosting the show from September 19.
Christie leaves the network on Friday, with Chalmers-Ross departing the following week. Tim Wilson will fill-in as host next week.

The changes are believed to have been made in response to a ratings surge by TV3's Paul Henry.
