Kerry O'Brien has accepted a job as the new host of Four Corners.
The 65-year-old Australian television personality, who announced his departure from The 7.30 Report last month after 15 years on the show, will revive the investigative show next year.
The ABC has released a statement saying: "O'Brien will embrace a tradition that began with the legendary Michael Charlton and continued with names like Mike Willesee, Caroline Jones, Andrew Olle and Liz Jackson.
"It will be like going home to the most enduring and respected name in Australian television."
O'Brien worked as a reporter on Four Corners in the 1970s before joining Lateline.
