Beloved Nine Star Livinia Nixon Quits After Two Decades
Channel Nine is facing changes as popular weathergirl Livinia Nixon announces her surprising departure from 9News Melbourne. After 20 years delivering weather forecasts, she is stepping back to focus on her family.
Career and Family Priorities
Livinia, the bubbly Nine personality, shared her decision:
“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.”
She named her two sons, Henry and Ted, emphasizing her commitment to family life:
“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.’”
Continued Presence on Nine Network
- Livinia first joined Nine in 1997 after gaining popularity on Hey Hey It’s Saturday, alongside Daryl Somers.
- She remains with the network and will continue presenting on popular travel shows like Getaway and Postcards.
“I’m thrilled to be staying with Nine and will be continuing my roles on Getaway and Postcards.”
Livinia Nixon’s choice reflects a meaningful shift from a long-standing broadcast career to dedicating more time to her family, while maintaining her on-screen presence in other roles.
