Livinia Nixon takes bright long-range outlook with her on new chapter

Livinia Nixon Embarks on a New Chapter

Livinia Nixon, the beloved weather presenter known for her start on Hey Hey, It’s Saturday, is concluding her role as Nine’s long-time weather presenter after 20 years. She will continue to appear on the travel shows Getaway and Postcards.

End of an Era

Speaking on the announcement, Nixon, 50, reflected on her career with a smile:

“I’ve been on air for more of my life than I’ve not. I’m looking forward to a breather.”

She chose to stop her weeknight weather briefings to devote more time to her family, especially as her youngest child, Ted, begins high school alongside his older brother Henry. Nixon described the decision as difficult but necessary.

Career Reflections and Family

She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to connect with viewers nightly, saying presenting the weather has deeply influenced her life and career:

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

Sharing the news with her children, she recalled their happy response:

“When I discussed it with our boys, they said ‘we’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum’.”

Memorable Moments

Among her memorable live segments was a broadcast from Healesville Sanctuary, where she had a green tree python draped around her neck. The snake’s grip tightened, and it attempted to slither into her jacket, prompting Nixon to recall:

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

Summary

After two decades on air, Livinia Nixon steps back from nightly weather duties to focus on family, while continuing her passion for travel shows.
