Another profile name has departed Nine, with Shane Crawford turning down a 2022 contract for a change of direction.
Crawford has most recently been hosting Postcards and presenting on Australian Ninja Warrior.
But he has been synonymous with the Melbourne AFL shows including The Footy Show (which he joined in 2009) and Sunday Footy Show, travel show Getaway and formerly co-hosted Kid’s WB. He was also a Celebrity Apprentice finalist.
There were reports he quit in 2019 when he turned up in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on 10.
“I have had a great relationship with 9 and I am very thankful for the opportunities and I would like to think I have contributed a bit as well,” Crawford has told the Sunday Herald Sun.
Matt James, Managing Director of Nine Melbourne, added, “While we’re sorry to see Shane go, the door always remains open should the right opportunity present itself in the future.”

Hopefully he replaces Wayne Carey on 7’s footy coverage
Wouldn’t be surprise in coming days he sign with seven?
