Wick wrote an email to staff on Friday revealing he was leaving his job
‘This is my 13th year in that position and my 29th year at the network.
‘Some of you are aware that I have taken a few weeks off to think about my future. And after many long beach walks and even longer conversations, I know in my heart that it is the right time for me to step down and leave NINE.
‘I don’t want to use the word ‘retirement’ because I don’t know how to sit idle. But I have to take a very long break from what has been four decades of work as a journalist. I am tired and need a rest’.
Nine’s head of programming Michael Healey paid tribute to Wick for his work at the network.
“I would like to personally thank Wickie for his commitment to the Nine News brand and wish him well,” he said.
