“This is the most exciting news venture going,” Foster said of the move.
“To be involved at this stage, taking a fresh look at the way news is delivered, is such a challenge.
“Getting
out and about again is a large part of the attraction. I’ve always seen
myself as a reporter as well as a studio man. Pulling all of that
together has got to be a dream job.”
