Not sure if it has been mentioned: Nine News Sydney sports reporter Hayley Willis quit the network earlier this year and is now the communications manager at AFL club Sydney Swans, according to her Twitter profile.

Today just aired a tribute to him - Karlâs intro to it was classy:

Itâll be rather interesting to see who does the inevitable tribute package to Hendo on tonight 6pm bulletin, after Mark Burrowsâ piece on Today and Damian Ryanâs (no doubt prepared ages ago, due to currently being in Tokyo for the Olympics) on the Morning News.
Personally I think itâd be great to see Mike Dalton do the 6pm tribute to HendoâŚif only to prove to some members of this forum that heâs actually capable of sensitive, compassionate reporting in addition to the fun, lighthearted fare Dalts is probably most famous for.

All the major metro TV newsrooms have obit tapes sitting on the shelf all ready to go in the event someone âfamousâ dies.

Iâm well aware of that common practice in television. Youâd have to imagine that Nine especially wouldâve had items for Hendo on standby for years, perhaps updated every so often to include bits from more recent TV appearances such as the 2019 Kennedy Awards appearance + his final interview with Peter Overton in February last year.
But generally, we wonât know which reporters will do the obituaries until they go to air though!

Depends on whoâs running the Newsroom but usually if you have a few days notice (like theyâre gravely ill and not expected to live long) you can prepare it a few days earlier then stick it straight on air.

That was a beautiful report and tribute from Mark Burrows of the passing of Brian Henderson.

Beautiful piece written on Hendo. Kind of wished that Overton or Sutcliffe did the voice over, considering they were the closest to Hendo. It was a great piece nonetheless.
