Livinia Nixon Embraces New Chapter with a Bright Outlook
Livinia Nixon, the beloved weather presenter known for starting her on-air career with Hey Hey, It’s Saturday, will continue her presence on the travel shows Postcards and Getaway. After 20 years as Nine's long-time weather presenter, Nixon will sign off this month.
“I’ve been on air for more of my life than I’ve not,”
she said with a laugh after the announcement, adding,
“I’m looking forward to a breather.”
Continuing with Nine on Travel Shows
At 50 years old, Nixon will remain with Nine, appearing regularly on Getaway and Postcards. She chose to end her weeknight weather briefings to devote more time to her family, especially since her youngest child, Ted, is about to start high school alongside his older brother Henry.
Reflecting on Her Career and Decision
Nixon described the decision as difficult, emphasizing the privilege of being welcomed into viewers' homes each night. She shared,
“Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything but this is the right decision for me.”
After discussing the change with her sons, she added,
“When I discussed it with our boys, they said ‘we’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum’.”
Memorable Moments on Air
One standout live broadcast took place at Healesville Sanctuary, where Nixon had a green tree python draped around her neck. The snake squeezed tightly and attempted to slither into her jacket, making her deliver the weather briefing faster than ever.
“I’d never read the weather as quickly in my life.”
Nixon’s legacy as a trusted and warm weather presenter continues as she embarks on this new phase of her career.
