Michael Rowland has announced he is leaving the ABC after 39 years, with this week being his last.
Rowland joined the ABC in Sydney in February 1987 as a radio news cadet. In a note announcing his decision, Rowland said he can still recall his excitement when he received the call offering him the role.
“My mum reminds me I was gripping the wall next to the phone in shock,” he wrote.
Congratulations Michael, your expertise and genuine manner will be missed by me.
Good wishes for new ventures as well as extra down time with your family.
