Nine News Melbourne has farewelled its hardworking sports presenter Clint Stanaway after nearly 25 years at the network.<\/p>\n

Stanaway\u2019s punishing workload in television and radio has been 7 days a week, including jetting to Sydney for Weekend Today and back on air on Sunday nights in Melbourne. Eventually work life balance led to a sensible decision to scale back (NB: he was not part of network redundancies).<\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to work here at Channel Nine, and it has been the greatest privilege of my life, working here for Nine. I walked into Channel Nine as an 18 year old into Bendigo Street, Richmond,\u201d he said on Nine News.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI hoped that one day I\u2019d become a TV news reporter, and 25 years later, I leave really proud of what I\u2019ve been able to achieve here in Melbourne and in Sydney as well on the Today show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is absolutely the best newsroom, not just in Melbourne, but in Australia, full of great people and friends for life, now. I will always be a Nine person, always forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to everyone who has helped me along the way, and thank you to you at home, those that have watched for inviting us and me into your lounge rooms as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a great privilege, a great honour. I go with a really heavy heart, but I needed to make a decision\u2026 and I\u2019ll miss you all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nine screened a lovely retrospective package by Tony Jones before Stanaway was even joined at the desk by his parents.<\/p>\n

Weekend Today also bid 13 minutes of farewells on Sunday prompting him to declare: \u201cI\u2019m not dying.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, Nine will do it all again in a fond farewell to Livinia Nixon.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After nearly 25 years at Nine, Clint Stanaway bows out, joined at the newsdesk by his mum and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":["post-289446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
