It seems that the new presenting arrangement in Adelaide has already begun, because Rosanna was presenting tonight and there was no weather presenter:
That means no farewell Jessica Adamson or Tim Noonan.

The team that shouldâve been presenting the weeknight bulletin. Both men exude warmth and class. Hope Jim succeeds in his new role but I have reservations about him as a talk radio presenter. Perhaps heâll surprise us.
I notice Mark Ferguson wasnât mentioned specifically.

They were never going to make a farewell to any of them.
Yeah, I guess weâll have to wait and see (or more to the point, hear) how Jim Wilson goes as a talkback presenter.
Of course I could turn out to be completely wrong, but surely the lure of possibly being involved with NRL coverage in the future (whether on 2GB or Nine) was something else that wouldâve lured Jim away from Seven?
Should we read anything into that, given that Jim wouldnât have presented alongside Fergo (yes, I know about most of this weekâŚ) for too much of the last four years?
Personally I wouldâve included a bit more âChris & Jimâ banter during the tribute package myself, but of course it seems that Seven donât want to give their viewers too many reminders of âthe good old daysâ for their Sydney news service!
Thatâs sad.

You mean host of afternoons right?
Amended!
Iâm sure the head honchos didnât want to remind themselves or viewers of what they let slip through their fingers.

Considering Jim defected to another network, that is a nice farewell. Shows how much he is respected. Is the management different now to those that demoted him to weekends?
Hate to be that person, but not sure they should be hugging.

Well done to Jim.
I always remember when he presented in Melbourne, but was shafted for Bev OâConnor in 2004.

You can tell by that tribute how respected Jim was among his (now) former colleagues - glad he got the send off he richly deserved

Good to see. Itâs unfortunate that other colleges at seven dont get the same farewell treatment.

Good to see that Sevenâs Sydney News had a sendoff to Jim Wilson tonight. 28 years at the network is a great achievement. It was a nice touching montage to him

And there was a brief handshake

That was a nice send off for Jim Wilson.
And Sydney viewers got to see one of his first reports for Seven News in Melbourne 24 years ago.
Tribute from former colleague Johanna Griggs (they worked together on numerous Olympic and Commonwealth Games):

So, so proud of our beautiful friend #jimwilson who was all class in his farewell on air last night after 28 years with the 7 network. We werenât expecting a mention but your kind words made me blubber like a baby yet again! Iâm going to miss working with you so much, but we are so excited about your new role as the drive presenter on @2gb873 You are going to be so brilliant on the radio. You are one of the kindest, most generous, caring people Iâve ever worked with, and a dear friend for life. So excited for you.
