TEN News moving back to Perth

The TEN Network is relocating its Perth news bulletin, currently produced in Sydney, back to Western Australia.

The network received widespread media attention for its east coast production following the death of newsreader Charmaine Dragun.

In Sydney Dragun was said to be experiencing feelings of isolation from family and friends, back in Perth.

TEN Perth general manager Simon Martin said that Ms Dragun had known of the plans to move the bulletin back to Perth which had been in the pipeline for 12 months.

“Charmaine was well aware we were working on this, she was a part of our trials, she was very excited about the very good possibility that it was going to happen,” he said. “Our timing was always going to be about the middle of this year.”

The switch is planned for May to coincide with TEN Perth’s 20th anniversary. No word if TEN’s Adelaide News, currently produced in Melbourne, is also in line for a relocation.

  1. Ahh yes finally Perth’s suburbs, jails, train stations and other questionable place names found in the news can be pronounced properly. I was also growing tiresome of that god forsaken Tim Webster and various other Sydney blow in types.
