Northern Ireland man Colin Murray has resigned as a presenter on the radio station talkSPORT following a change in ownership.
News Corp is being bought over by the Wireless Group.
Mr Murray had been offered a new contract until 2019.
Is a statement he said: "While three are part sod News Corp that aren't a problem, it is the inevitable future working relationship between talkSPORT and The Sun that has made my position unsustainable.
"Commercially, I delivered all-time record ratings and, creatively, I was left alone to mould a show of which I was intensely proud.
"Sincere thanks to Scott, Liam, Steve, Dennie, Kathryn and those I've worked with, plus to my wonderful cast of c-presenters. I cannot thank you enough.
"Most importantly thanks for listening."
