  • Mark Gibson to leave Seven Perth

    July 15 2008 1:39pm (UTC+8)  -  Article by Kevin

    In what can only be described as another blow for Seven News Perth, popular reporter and fill in presenter Mark Gibson has announced that he has resigned after seven years of reporting for the state's highest rating news bulletin.

    The West Australian says that Gibson confirmed the news yesterday and will now discuss his departure date with news director Shaun Menegola.

    Gibson says he had been approached several months ago about joining Channel Nine Perth's new local A Current Affair to be launched soon, but says he did not take the job at the time and was considering his options.

    He has refused to confirm or deny whether he would take up a position on the new ACA.

    After seven years with Channel Seven, Gibson says he needs a break.

    "It is time for a change, nothing too exciting" he told The West Australian.

    Gibson has been in many on-air roles at Seven Perth including filling in as presenter for news, sport and weather when required on Seven News.

    He previously worked for Network Ten in Sydney before moving to Perth to join Channel Seven.

    Another experienced reporter and presenter gone from TVW, what is happening behind the scenes there?

    People fed up with the standards of Seven News?

    Something tells me that Seven either treat their staff like crap or what you said, they're unhappy with the product and/or environment.

    I can't imagine WIN paying well based on how cheap they are so I doubt it's about money.

    i could see him being offered more money to go to ACA Perth .... WIN really wants to succeed where the station has failed 3 other times..

    Has anyone thought he may go to TEN? Either as a Co-Host, with Narelda, A Reporter, A Fillin Presenter or Even a Weekend Presenter( So they can bring the news Back home 7 days a Week). I would Like Option 1 the Best.
