Sandy Roberts and his doctor did a 5 minute interview on the 4pm news today.
And on the 6pm report tonight there was a shot of him walking into the studio and he said something like ‘the dear old studio’. I really miss him from TV and hope for all the best. What a legend. 
Good to see Seven opting to send over a reporter.
Recently they’ve utilised Newshub based reporters for big NZ stories.
Great interview.
Thank you Sandy and thank you 7 for the awareness raising.
Mary Parker, who read the news on HSV-7’s first night broadcasting in 1956, has died.
When the issue first happened I’m pretty sure Seven used a News hub reporter but it was such a big story it made sense to send a reporter.
Bec reading Melbournes news this evening.
That’s insulting to a colleague.
A little bit “choppergate” if he’s not actually there.
The image does look like Mark Riley is in the Canberra Peace Park (Japanese gardens).
And as for Choppergate, the image has a super saying “Canberra” so its not like he’s faking being in Japan. But there could be many reasons why Mark Riley didn’t go. But it does look odd though that Nine and Ten sent reporters.
The confusion arose because, for the first part of the story, the caption says Mark Riley, Hiroshima, suggesting he did travel to Japan.
However, Seven sent Rob Scott:
What?
Sorry you’re right, I did write my response half asleep. Very odd though that the supers weren’t checked properly or had known his exact location.
The “Hiroshima” super should’ve been up in the top left indicating the location, while Canberra above the reporter’s name would indicate that’s where the reporter is. That’s my take.
Probably not.
Not if you check the cap
Yeah that cap does make it confusing
That’s what I’m saying.
