Wick wrote an email to staff on Friday revealing he would be quitting his job
“This is my 13th year in that role and my 29th year with the Network.
“Some of you know that I took a few weeks off to think about my future. And after many long walks on the beach and even longer conversations, I know deep down that this is the right time for me to step down and leave NINE.
“I don’t want to use the word ‘retire’ because I don’t know how to sit still. But I’m going to take a very long break from the forty years I’ve worked as a journalist. I’m tired and need some rest.’
Nine’s programming boss Michael Healey paid tribute to Wick for his work at the network.
“I would like to personally thank Wickie for his commitment to the Nine News brand and wish him well,” he said.
