Making the news SO LONG, SIMON

The broadcaster has signed off

- 

After 32 years, TVNZ newsreader Simon Dallow bowed out of the nation's sitting rooms on November 28.

“I've always firmly believed newsreaders should never be the news, but now I'm no longer one and that means I can say it's been a genuine privilege to be on your screens and in your living rooms,” the longtime news anchor, 61, told viewers at the end of his final bulletin. “It's something we never take for granted and I'm sincerely grateful.”
