Livinia Nixon Embarks on New Career Chapter

Livinia Nixon, the beloved weather presenter known for her start on Hey Hey, It’s Saturday, is concluding her 20-year tenure as Nine’s weeknight weather host this month.

Career Highlights and Future Plans

She shared with a laugh, “I’ve been on air for more of my life than I’ve not. I’m looking forward to a breather.” Despite stepping back from nightly weather reports, Nixon will remain with Nine, continuing her appearances on travel programs Getaway and Postcards.

Personal Reasons Behind the Decision

Deciding to end her weeknight briefings was motivated by a desire to spend more time with her family. Her youngest child, Ted, is about to start high school alongside his older brother Henry. Nixon noted the significance of presenting the weather nightly:

“Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything but this is the right decision for me.”

When discussing the change with her children, they responded enthusiastically:

“We’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum.”
Memorable Moment on Air

One standout live weather segment took place at Healesville Sanctuary, where Nixon had a green tree python wrapped around her neck. She recalled how the snake squeezed tightly before trying to slither inside her jacket:

“I’d never read the weather as quickly in my life.”

Summary: After two decades as a standout weather presenter, Livinia Nixon chooses to prioritize family while continuing her engaging work on travel shows with Nine.
