What a great career. How fantastic would it be for Australian television and women in general if we see a send off like this for Chris Bath (or any other women in prime time) after reading the news for all those years when she is 69.

I was absolutely delighted when he took Seven news to the top (and has kept it there for the last five years) in Sydney not long after he left Nine, who treated him shabbily in the wake of Brian Henderson's retirement. Have a happy retirement Roscoe, and best of luck to Chris Bath, another excellent newsreader. I'm sure she'll keep Seven news at the number one spot for many years to come.

When Ann Sanders and Ross Simons were hosting for their last time, they got at least flowers. How disapointing :( Why on earth didn’t the news team give Ian Ross as a gift???

Seven kept the new Gold Coast facility very quiet, right up until opening (which had as a special guest of all people, Peter Meakin, head of news for the network, cue reference to your comment back in July, "My guess is Meakin has forgotten that he runs Brisbane.") DoNd's ratings are proof, that Seven will need to try a new direction in the south-east corner before any switch from dual to solo anchoring for BTQ's weekday 6pm will work. It is a matter not, of if Seven will act, but when will Seven act, and when they do Rob Readings better not be sitting in a corner at Nine, but to help make dramatic improvements to QTQ's GC news service, when they have well funded competition, probably with a big name. @Evan: Judging by the Walkley BTQ won the other night (with a Gold Coast story none the less), surely they need a GC service.

I cried at the end of that clip along with Roscoe! So long mate. You will be missed. Even though I now live in Melbourne, I have been a big fan of Chris Bath's since her NBN Newcastle days. Good luck Chris! Oh wow it’s amazing how you can connect so much with TV personalities/TV shows. I cried at the end of that clip along with Roscoe! So long mate. You will be missed.

I wonder if he will pop up to read a BTQ bulletin from time to time? BTQ have just opened a new studio in Surfers Paradise (it was mentioned and shown during the 50 Year special last month)..... Surely Seven aren't thinking of a competing news service to Nine's Gold Coast News? I believe he lives here on the Gold Coast.

I wish him all the best. Interesting that we haven't seen or heard a peep out of Mark Ferguson considering he is set to read weekends from tomorrow! @ Gary - Seven won the 18-49 and 25-54 demos this year. Not really nursing home age brackets there. Sad to see Roscoe going, he’s a fantastic newsreader. I wish him all the best.

She used to look like she was dressing up for some kind of event. It just didn't look right, sitting there delivering the day's news. @Boy Wonder yeah I like Chris Bath too… especially since she started dressing more appropriately.
