Thankfully, he is on sport today. And with Katrina back from holidays, hopefully they do a handover. Looks like they’ve organised it well, which is great. It’s going to be a tough bulletin- I’m already emotional.

Weather at 6.46. This is going to be a big farewell for Kay.

That was an amazing tribute and farewell. Not rushed at all as they often are. So much footage and even magazine photos. Lovely that Kay got to hand over to Katrina.

This is the package during which Kay said she was not retiring but re-purposing and would be presenting special reports and appearing on the Queensland Weekender lifestyle program.

Remix of the inrto at 2.54 - they used the old Mission theme with Mike Higgins voicng the intro for Rod & Kay. Problem is, Rod didn’t start until 2002 - the old Mission theme ended in late 1999…

No mention or vision of Des McWilliam either - only Tony Ryan & Geoff Mullins at TVQ.

Katrina said some nice words too. Hopefully someone has some of that.

Gosh the authority of 7 News of past decades gone by. Just no comparison today (across all networks actually).

Full bulletin (adds may appear due to music played during the farewell).

I wonder what the song used in the farewell was. Sounds to me that the song is “Wish You Well”.
The song sung by Bernard Fanning was used in Tracey Challenor’s final bulletin in February 2007.

Unless The Australian knows something that we don’t (not saying it isn’t possible, but personally I have my doubts), then someone should tell them that Melissa Doyle hasn’t presented Friday/Saturday night bulletins for well over three years now…
