David Reyne leaving David and Kim
Aug 21
Channel Ten have announced that David Reyne will not be returning 9am with David and Kim for another season, leaving at the end of the year.
David Reyne:
“After four years of hosting 9am I have decided to hand in my notice to Network Ten. Over almost 1,800 hours of the program I’ve run with the whole gamut of topics from global warming, the GFC, celebrity gossip to choosing the right vase for your Mothers’ Day flowers and reading tea leaves. It’s been truly exhilarating, occasionally excruciating and utterly exhausting.
“I know it’s customary at a time like this for the exiting host to say something gratuitous about their employer – but I truly mean it when I say that it’s been a great delight for me to have worked with the magnificent team of people at Network Ten. I’m very grateful for their support over the past four years.
“For the time being I’m just looking forward to a long lie down over summer while thinking about what 2010 may hold in store for me.”
Chief Programming Officer at Channel Ten, David Mott thanked Reyne for his time on the show:
“We have appreciated and enjoyed working with David over the last four years.
“9am was a brand new venture back in 2006 and David’s good humour and skill have been fundamental in establishing the loyal audience base we enjoy now. We will miss him and wish him well.
“In light of David’s decision we are reviewing all elements of 9am in 2010. More announcements will be made over the coming months.”
