Another Channel Seven presenter announces shock resignation
Veteran Channel Seven weather presenter Liz Cantor has announced her resignation on Wednesday after 17 years with the network.
The TV host shared the shock news in a statement and revealed she has accepted a new position at Network Ten.
"I was a seven, now I'm a ten. I feel honoured to be part of the return of local news to Queensland. I'm really excited to take weather out into our community," she said.
She paid tribute to her former colleagues and shared her excitement at starting the new role alongside a gallery of photos from her time at Seven.
"I just want to use this space to take a moment and jump in to say thank you to my 7News colleagues," she shared.
"I cherish the friendships, experiences, lessons and growth I've experienced while running alongside you all, over the past 17 years.
"You're the most incredible, hard working bunch of inspirational people. I count my lucky stars I got to share such an influential part of my life with you all."
Cantor will start her new role on Monday.
She joins Sharyn Ghidella, who was axed from Seven last month, but will soon join Network 10 to anchor the 5pm Queensland news bulletin.
Her move to Network 10 will also bring the 10 News First show back to the Brisbane studio after years of it being read from Sydney.
In an update shared on Wednesday morning, Cantor shared a photo alongside Ghidella in front of the Network 10 desk, sharing her excitement to be working with her again.
"Also, @sharynghidella people know you as a calm, composed, intelligent news anchor - and you are all of these things - but I also know you as someone witty (YES!) and always encouraging and supportive of the people around you," she wrote.
"I am beyond thrilled, to call you my colleague again. See you all Monday."
