Seven remembers a pioneer, a storyteller and a true gentleman of Australian television.
Brilliant to see that Seven will be showing a tribute to the late Roger Climpson with a special on Thursday evening.
7NEWS Special: Memory of Roger Climpson will be shown in Sydney at 7pm and will be available nationally on 7plus.
7NEWS presenter Mark Ferguson said: “Like many families, we watched Roger most evenings for years. Behind the desk he was all class – informed and engaging, with a voice that made you sit up and listen.”
For decades, Roger Climpson was a familiar presence on Australian screens – a newsreader, presenter and storyteller whose warmth and authority defined a golden age of television.
From his start in the 1960s at 7NEWS to hosting This Is Your Life and Australia’s Most Wanted, Roger became one of Sydney’s most recognizable faces, helping Australians connect with unforgettable moments in history.
7NEWS honors his extraordinary life and reflects on his iconic broadcast career, the stories that shaped a nation and the man behind the desk, with 7NEWS Special: Remembering Roger Climpson, Thursdays at 7pm on Seven in Sydney and nationally on 7plus.
The special event takes viewers deep into the archives and relives decades of media history – from Roger’s early days on radio to his pioneering role in reporting events such as the disappearance of Harold Holt and the first moon landing.
It also celebrates his time fronting some of Australia’s best-loved programs, and his lasting influence on generations of journalists.
Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Roger Climpson: a pioneer, a storyteller and a true gentleman of Australian television.
