2CC/2CA looking for a new senior journalist
July 22nd, 2009 at 03:32pm
2CC and 2CA are on the lookout for a new senior journalist, which sadly means that Jane Turner (who is, in my opinion, Canberra’s best newsreader) is leaving. I would like to see Jane take over the anchor role on WIN News, but alas she isn’t sticking around this fair city. I will miss Jane’s dulcet tones and professionalism, as well as her wit which was evident when conversing with program hosts.
I wish Jane the best of luck for the future.
Anyhoo, in Jane’s absence, the following needs to be filled:

It is a bit sad – I will miss Jane too.
How long has she been at 2CC, Samuel, and to where does she journey next?

You’re testing my memory now…I had to think about that one as I couldn’t work out if she started at Capital Radio in 2005 or 2006, but then I remembered that she wasn’t there when I did work experience there in 2005, so it must have been 2006.
I gather that she is heading back to Tasmania…to do what, I don’t know.

I wish Laura Tchilinguirian who used to read the news on 106 in the late 90s would came back to Canberra. She was absolutely brilliant.

There’s a familiar name…where is Laura these days? I’m sure that I saw her name the other day and I can’t remember where or why.

When I googled her name she seemed to appear simultaneously at a radio station in Melbourne and at another in Sydney. So I’m not sure where she is now. I used to have a very brief grab of her on an audio cassette reading the news. Alas, I can’t find the tape – I have so many 🙁
