Father of Olympic champion and TV icon Steve Titmus confirms major career change as Seven axes Gold Coast bulletin amid string of cuts


The TV icon, 61, has been a longtime presenter for Seven's Gold Coast news but the embattled network axed the program last week in a major shake-up.

Seven West Media slashed 150 editorial staff in a round of redundancies which claimed big names including Queenslanders newsreader Sharyn Ghidella and veteran weatherman Paul Burt. Seven Network's recently appointed news and current affairs boss Anthony De Ceglie has been replacing sections leaders across the country with younger managers. The network has also axed veterans Robert Ovadia, Andrew Frampton and seasoned Melbourne crime reporter Cameron Baud, who is known among friends as the 'Harvester of Sorrow' due to his grim news beat.
