NSW: Martin to leave Nine at year's end - report

TV personality RAY MARTIN has confirmed he will leave Channel Nine at the end of the year.

The 62-year-old television veteran's departure is the latest in a string of losses
from the network .. including head of news .. GARRY LINNELL .. and stars JAMIE DURIE ..

JANA WENDT and JESSICA ROWE.

Fairfax quotes MARTIN as saying his frustration increased over the past 12 months ..

with a lack of projects to interest him.

He says the golden days of television are over .. and TV is all about business these
days .. rather than creativity.

MARTIN has worked for Nine for almost 30 years.
