Sports producer exits Nine

Long-time cricket producer Brad “Buzzard” McNamara has resigned from Nine.

McNamara has worked in the sports department for the past 18 years, leading Nine’s cricket coverage for the past 9 years.

The Australian revealed details of an email from Head of Sport Tom Malone to staff.

“Buzz tells me he’s really torn in making this decision, but that after a great and lengthy tenure at Nine, it’s time for him to do something else,” he wrote.

“He’s going to have an extended break before seeking out a new challenge. He goes with all of our good wishes, and support, and of course he’ll always be welcome back in the Nine and WWOS family.”
