While the show might be a bit tacky, it still has good career prospects and lets them do more long form material. Steinfort for example was at ACA.
It seems that in response to Rick and Sue’s 35 years at Seven in Perth, Nine is trying to talk up Michael Thomson’s 40 years in news:

That promo has to be the biggest twist and lie in TV news in 2020 so far… Michael has obviously presented sport for the majority of his career and even left TV until they lured him back…
I find it amusing that the only news story 9 can dig up regarding Michael Thompson is the Fremantle Prison situation. If you have been fronting the news for 40 years there are more significant stories to pick from. But they can’t because thats probably the only news report he ever did…

Rick started at 7Perth in 1978 (42 yrs) and has been in the news dept. all that time.
Sue started at ABC Perth in 1974/5 And became the ABC’s second female news presenter in Aust. So Sue has been involved in Perth news consistently for approx 45 years. I think 9perth need to remove that promo before they embarrass themselves any further.
As has been stated earlier, Michael has been a part timer involved in news & mostly sport (when he was not sacked by previous owners of the station)

Admittedly I was wondering how long it would be until Pete received such a recognition after receiving an honourary doctorate from Macquarie University in September last year.
Congrats to both him and Rob Penfold on recieving the honours, BTW!

Disagree - I think he’s great and appeals to the wider Australian audience.
