“I’ll certainly miss the adrenaline”: Jane Doyle farewells Seven News Adelaide

Seven News legend Jane Doyle last night signed off from the desk, ending a remarkable 33 year run in Adelaide.

Doyle, who joined Seven in 1989, announced her retirement several weeks ago, to be succeeded by Rosanna Mangiarelli and Will Goodings.

“Seriously it was the best decision I’ve ever made, both personally and professionally. And I can never adequately thank everyone who’s been part of my experience here. My wonderful husband and our beautiful son, Henry, who are in the room tonight, have been my biggest supporters and I’ve also made lifelong friends here in the newsroom.

“The Seven family is a remarkable place to work. My colleagues have been a continuous source of inspiration and I know with Rosanna and Will at the helm, they’re going to continue our tradition of presenting the best news bulletins in town.

“I’ll certainly miss the adrenaline and the camaraderie of working in a newsroom. But most of all, I’ll miss you, our viewers from all over this great state.”

Doyle’s presence will surely be missed on Adelaide screens -for the last consecutive 22 years her bulletin has been number 1 in the ratings.

“I hope that each and every one of you, despite the travails that are befalling people in the Riverland at the moment and whatever might come this summer, I hope you can have a happy Christmas and I wish you all the very best in 2023. Thank you very much,” she added.
