George Hook "Stepping Down" From Weekday Radio Show
Newstalk has confirmed that George Hook is "stepping down" from his lunchtime show on the station.
The company says it has now "concluded the process which reviewed the circumstances that led to George Hook's comments on rape recently."
The presenter has apologised for suggesting that victims of rape can share blame for being attacked.
Newstalk says that George "will return to the station in December 2017, when he will take on a new weekend show."
Newstalk will shortly be announcing a replacement for the lunchtime show.
