Steve Titmus announces new role with Seven
Steve Titmus will take on a new senior leadership role for Seven, leading the sports division as 7NEWS Brisbane's new sports anchor alongside Max Futcher and Sarah Greenhalgh.
The TV legend will begin his new role next month when Shane Webcke steps down from full-time work to pursue his family business.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to present 7NEWS Gold Coast over the past three years and I’m proud of what we achieved as a team," Titmus said.
“I’m very excited about my new role with 7NEWS as it embraces my passion and enthusiasm for sport and sports broadcasting. I’m returning to where it all began for me when I joined Seven 25 years ago – in the sport department.
"Our coverage of sport news is unrivalled and I look forward to contributing all that I can now with so much more journalistic experience and life skills from my family’s journey through grassroots community sport to glory at the Olympic Games," he continued, making reference to his daughter and Aussie Olympic swimming champion Ariarne Titmus.
“I’m also thrilled to be working full time on the Brisbane news desk with Max, Sarah and Tony. All are long time colleagues and friends, which will shine through in our broadcasts.
“The plan is to continue to live on the Gold Coast and my passionate involvement with the local community.”
