9News Favourite Livinia Nixon Announces Exit
After two decades as 9News Melbourne's weather presenter, Livinia Nixon will step down from her role but remain involved with other Nine programs.
Career and Departure

Nixon explained her decision coincides with her two sons entering their senior years of schooling and her desire to spend more time with family.
“It’s been a privilege to be welcomed into viewers’ homes for so long, but this is the right time for my family.”
Future Plans
Although stepping away from nightly weather presenting, Livinia will continue hosting Nine’s travel shows Getaway and Postcards.
“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.”
