Distinctive, colourful reporter Allan Raskall has been culled by Nine News Melbourne as part of cost-cutting.
Raskall, who has worked as a long-time freelancer with Nine since 2013, recently took to social media to seek new media opportunities.
“I’ve freelanced for more than a decade at Nine, I guess during a cost of living crisis even big business has to cut back on luxury items! Who knows what the future holds?” he told the Herald Sun.
A Nine Entertainment spokesman said he would always be a “much-loved member” of the Melbourne team.
“However, we are not immune from the economic challenges impacting the media sector. As such, we are pausing the use of casual staff in various parts of the business. We hope to work with Allan again in the future,” the spokesman said.
The versatile Raskall, a favourite of The Cheap Seats for embedding himself full-throttle into news stories, even recently took to the stage in the production Club Vegas.
His latest post suggests he may not be out of action for too long….
Must love dogs!
What am I up to?
