    TVW had better produce something good for their 50th year. Anything would be better than that crap that Boland did for the east coast 50th.

    The West said:
    "I'm out of the newsroom and no longer have any role in the newsroom. I'm a producer" said Whitby, explaining that he was instead working on a documentary to screen next year to celebrate 50 years of Channel 7.

    "I'm going through the archives and film vault and looking at all the old programs."

    Looking forward to seeing this :)
