Media Career
Formerly presenting the weather on QTQ-9's National Nine News in Brisbane for nearly 25 years, he quit in September 2006, just short of his 25th anniversary with the Nine Network. In the late eighties, John did voice-over work for Brisbane Ten (TVQ-0/10) but returned to Nine. He was subsequently replaced by weekend weather presenter Joseph May.
John was later signed by Seven News Brisbane as a fill-in weather presenter for Talitha Cummins, a position which was later made permanent following high ratings for the then-second rate Seven bulletin (Seven News came 2nd in Brisbane in 2006).
John is married to former Brisbane television identity, Chris Collins, who presented news on Brisbane's Ten News with Rob Readings from 1987 to 1989. He also has a son, Ben.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or career:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
