Nine Network Sportscaster Ken Sutcliffe Calling It A Career After 50 Years

Veteran sports presenter Ken Sutcliffe will "call time on his decorated 50-year broadcasting career at the end of the year," according to the AAP. Sutcliffe announced he "was to retire next month after delivering the sports report on Nine News" in Sydney Tuesday night. He said, "I've been thinking about it for some time and believe this is the perfect moment to move on from a job I've loved so much. I have always said you retire while they still want you and that's the case at Nine." Turning 69 this month, Sutcliffe has been a "familiar face in Australian lounge rooms" since joining the Nine Network in '79 (AAP, 11/3).
