TV Week editor Thomas Woodgate has left after six years with the magazine.
During this time he has overseen a Logie Awards revamp and the launch of a new monthly magazine.
On social media he looked back on the mag’s run and thanked his team.
WHAT A SERIES IT’S BEEN! After 6 years, 339 issues and 35,000 pages of TV content, I’ve decided it’s time for me to sign off from TV WEEK.
I’m leaving on a high and with the mag in great shape, with a stellar, trusted relationship with its readers and the industry… pic.twitter.com/vVUOi6f3uJ

…I’m excited about what comes next – thank you to all those that have already reached out. But for now, I’m going to pour myself a cup of tea and turn on the TV (old habits die hard).

Last week there were reports he had been offered a redundancy. Bauer recently culled ome 70 staff after it acquired Pacific Magazines. TV Week has halted all work with freelance journalists and cancelled the 2020 Logie Awards.
Bauer Media is yet to advise his successor.

Poor TV Week. With the editor leaving, having no freelance journalists, and the axing of the Logies for 2020 – it cant get any better for the mag.
Does anyone buy this mag now???
It must be at least 6 years since I last bought the mag coz I don’t believe I bought any with Thomas as Editor. I stopped buying because it became less and less relevant to me (prefer the content here) while the price went up and up.
Best wishes for Thomas. I’ve brought TV Week for many years as the magazine is part of my childhood. It’s great the program guide is a week ahead. I remember a female editor that always related to something her kids had done in the editors page.
