Nine News Brisbane opener 12/7/09 (Heather Foord solo)

What do you get when Sydney axes the program you host, and you are "retired, as of December 2008"

They chuck you back in the newsroom, you left to host Extra six months earlier, in a weekend position.

That's what happened to Heather Foord. Back where she started at QTQ over twenty years ago, reading weekends, after Sydney dumped Extra.

Brisbane send a message, Tell Nine at the Ekka, don't take being local for granted. We want Extra back, followed by news with sport read by Andrew Slack, then weather with Garry Youngberry wearing a knapsack coming out of a hatchback...

What's the story with Heather Foord supposedly leaving to "spend more time with the family" ...what a crock....I thought the definition of retirement meant that " you cease working" , not make a big who ha about wanting to be more of a mother to her children, bullshit....how embarassing.....make up your mind Heather, first you were on extra, now back on the news again....move aside, give someone else a chance....& retire like you said you were doing!!!

She was a little rough. It will take her a couple of weeks to get back to her usual reading standard again.
