Freya Cole, who joined the network in March 2013, will succeed Forrest on the 6pm bulletin from next Monday.
She is the third newsreader to head the Border bulletin since it was transferred from Albury to Canberra in 2011, when Daniel Gibson took over from Helen Ballard.
Cole, who worked for Prime in Gippsland and Tamworth before shifting to Canberra, will also present bulletins to the Riverina and Central West NSW.
Forrest, who replaced Gibson in February last year, will remain with Prime as a news editor.
On Monday Prime began reporting from its new Albury offices in Dean Street on the first floor of the former Maple’s building.
Prime had previously been based in studios in Union Road where it began as AMV4 in 1964.
