Tony Dickinson thanks well-wishers for their support

Last month at the request of 4BC news director Scott Mayman I published the news that veteran TV news presenter Tony Dickinson is in hospital battling cancer.

The radio and TV man is best known as the frontman of Channel TEN’s Adelaide News in the 1980s.

Yesterday Scott has asked me to pass on thanks from Tony, who has been buoyed by hearing from so many colleagues:

He’s undergone multiple operations and is very weak, but he has made a point to get the message out to all of those who’ve responded to the recent TV Tonight article about his condition.

Tony says he’s been absolutely blown away by the support and messages – especially from those who haven’t seen him for so long.
