'I'll miss the people': Julian Abbott delivers final news bulletin

Newsreader Julian Abbott delivers his final news bulletin on Friday morning, after 32 years with ABC Radio Canberra and 42 years in the radio industry.

Listeners will miss his dry sense of humour, his wry observations of life, his authoritative voice and his banter with presenters, not only with those still working, but past names such as Alex Sloan, Chris Uhlmann, David Kilby and Rod Quinn.

"I've been here for 32-and-a-half years. I started on the 27th of October 1991. It was a Sunday and I started by reading local news bulletins," he said.
