ABC NSW 7pm presenter Nakari Thorpe tonight referred to tonight’s bulletin as a “show” (“We’ll have more on the World Cup later in the show”). That, to me, is a newsreading 101 basic, it is not “a show”. ---

It is another big loss for ABC News Perth with Michael Tetlow departing the ABC network. Back in 2011, Tetlow joined Channel 10 Perth to present the news. And after a few years he left Channel 10 to join ABC News Perth. He will be joining the Manager of Media at the Rottnest Island Authority. Tetlow will be sadly missed ---

I’ve been wondering if he was going to leave soon, he has taken a bit of leave this year and then I think in March he decreased his days to 3 days a week, I actually thought he might be retiring but never mind. Who’s going replace him now ---

Something that went unnoticed by many - Antony Green finished up at the ABC last week. Following his on air retirement, he remained with the ABC, working on the behind the scenes aspect as part of the transition of him leaving.
