Bruce Paige
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce Paige is a newsreader in Brisbane, Australia, where he presents the 6PM news on Channel Nine. He currently co-anchors alongside Heather Foord, having paired with Jillian Whiting previously.
First coming to prominence on television reading the ABC bulletin, Paige's career at the station began in January 1971, before he moved to Channel Nine in 1985. He left Nine in 1990 for Network Ten, but had soon moved back to his native Townsville, reading the local news there for three years. In 1994, Paige returned to Nine's statewide news as a weekend newsreader, and by 1995 was back in the weeknight position.[1]
Paige also hosted Channel Nine's short-lived Queensland current affairs program, Eye On Queensland during 1997 and has been used in a presenting role in a number of documentaries on the network.
Following Cyclone Larry in north Queensland, Paige delivered a series of reports from the region. These were described at the time as being quite personal, as he grew up not far from the affected areas.
"Paigey", as he is known, is familiar for his signoff of "That's how it is this [day]", occasionally varied to "That's not exactly how it is" for humorous effect after the final human interest story of the bulletin.
