After nearly two decades as a beloved weather presenter in Melbourne, Livinia Nixon has announced she will be leaving her role on 9News Melbourne. Livinia joined the Nine Network in 1997 and became the 9News Melbourne weather presenter in 2004.
Livinia has decided to focus more on her family as her sons reach their senior school years. Her final weather presentation will be on Tuesday, 18 November.
Although stepping away from weather presenting, Livinia will remain with the Nine family. She will continue hosting popular travel shows such as Getaway and Postcards.
“After 20 years presenting weather on 9News, I’ve decided to step back from this role. My sons will both be in high school and I want to be there to support them. It’s been a privilege to be welcomed into viewers’ homes for so long, but this is the right time for my family. Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything but this is the right decision for me. When I discussed it with our boys, they said ‘we’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum.’ I’m thrilled to be staying with Nine and will be continuing my roles on Getaway and Postcards.”
Livinia’s departure marks the end of a significant chapter in Melbourne’s TV weather presenting history, while she looks forward to focusing on family and continuing her television career.
Livinia Nixon ends her 20-year tenure as 9News Melbourne weather presenter to prioritize family but will remain active on popular Nine travel shows.
