After 30 years at Nine, Ray Martin has quit the network.
With reports of his discontent last year – before the reinstatement of David Gyngell as network chief executive – the snubbing of his pitch for a chat show and the earlier start time for the Sunday programme, it’s not much of a surprise.
Martin began at the network as a reporter on 60 Minutes, continuing as host of Midday and A Current Affair, with any number of special hosting gigs thrown in over the years.
Both David Gyngell and Martin claim it’s an amicable split.
James Talia joins us all the way from London to talk about journalism, celebrity and parochialism. Also we discuss Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and dumb ads with no common sense. News and Pork fill out the show.
No time to dilly or dally:

Ross mentioned this in the comments but it’s worth having its own post.
Wayne Carey, after being arrested the other night (as we discussed on episode 117), has been fired from Nine.
And the Nine Network this morning said it had sacked the former football great turned commentator, a day after radio station 3AW announced his contract would not be renewed.
So now, the only good thing in Footy Classified, according to Ross, is gone. How will Nine sustain the one year old show? Who will replace Carey in his important role? The 50 people who watch Footy Classified will want to know.
