  • Alison Fan quits Seven Perth

    September 13 2007 11:23am (UTC+8)  -  Article by Kevin

    Veteran Seven News Perth reporter Alison Fan has reportedly quit the station following an argument with news director Shaun Menegola.

    Alison, who has been a reporter for Seven News in Perth for over 30 years, was last seen storming out of the station around 4pm yesterday afternoon.

    Menegola refused to speak about the matter last night. "We don't comment on internal staff matters", he told The West Australian's Inside Cover.

    Alison has had an extraordinary career. She has been tear gassed in California, shot at in riots in San Francisco and covered every major court trial in Western Australia since 1965. Alison is probably most famous for her coverage of the W.A. Inc Royal Commission and the Mickleberg Brothers gold swindle.

    This may not be the end however, and Alison could very well be back on our screens within days.

    "It happens every couple of months apparently", according to an Inside Cover "television operative".

    Liked this comment on the PerthNow site:

    Channel 7 - what are you DOING?! What a perfect opportunity - she's left of her own desire so you don't have to SACK the old, self justifying fossil. Maybe those other two archive-ready newsreaders over there (over based Suzannah Carr and phlegm-throated Rick Ardon) can also take the hint and move on after two decades doing the same thing ... They have all passed their prime, demographic attraction and relevance. But - who in their right mind would employ them after so long doing the same thing for the same employer?? Maybe they could become seat warmers in Mr Stokes' garden ... Romac of Adelaide 2:52pm today

    They made reference to, and showed an interview done by Alison Fan in tonight's TT.

    Any news on when she'll be back at Seven, or if she has told them to shove off for good?
