Channel Nine’s new director Darren Wick has quit the network
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 this is the right time for me to step down and leave NINE.
‘I don’t want to use the word ‘retiring’ because I don’t know how to sit idle. But I am going to take a very long break from what has been four decades of working as a journalist. I’m tired and need a rest.’
Nine’s programming boss Michael Healey paid tribute to Wick for his work at the network.
‘I personally want to thank Wickie for his commitment to the Nine News brand and wish him well,’ he said.
The announcement came less than a week after Nine said Wick would return to his role after a short break.
