Former Channel Nine weather presenter Alex Cullen has broken his silence following his sudden and unexpected sacking from the network, describing the experience as "devastating".
In an emotional interview, the popular broadcaster revealed he was given no clear explanation for his dismissal after 15 years with the company. "I'm still trying to process what happened," Cullen admitted. "One day I was preparing forecasts, the next I was out the door."
Loyalty Counts for Nothing
The veteran presenter expressed particular hurt over how his long service was treated. "Fifteen years of loyalty apparently means nothing in this business," he said. "Not even the courtesy of a proper conversation about why this decision was made."
Viewers Rally Behind Ousted Presenter
Since news of his departure broke, Cullen has been overwhelmed by support from devastated viewers. Social media has been flooded with messages calling for his reinstatement, with many fans threatening to boycott Channel Nine's weather segments.
"The public response has been humbling," Cullen acknowledged. "It's comforting to know my work meant something to people."
What Next for the Weatherman?
While still coming to terms with his abrupt career change, Cullen hasn't ruled out a return to television. "I've still got plenty to give," he insisted. "This isn't how I imagined ending my time in broadcasting."
Industry insiders suggest rival networks may already be considering approaches for the popular presenter, though Cullen remains tight-lipped about potential offers.
