40 Years and 10,000 Broadcasts In, They’re Still Live on Air

Rick Ardon and Susannah Carr have anchored 7News Perth together for 40 years, logging more than 10,000 nightly broadcasts and earning a Guinness World Record as the longest‑serving news‑anchor duo. Their partnership, which began in 1985, has become a trusted fixture for Western Australian viewers. Despite the rise of social‑media feeds and AI‑driven news bots, the pair continues to deliver traditional television journalism. Their longevity underscores both personal chemistry and the enduring value of local broadcast credibility.
