The email said "this is difficult news to pass on, but I want to let you know that Nine Perth is making changes to the News team as part of a broader change of direction for our bulletin in 2018.

"I'd like to thank both Tim and Emmy on behalf of the Newsroom for the contribution to Nine and wish them well for the future."
