Livinia Nixon Embraces New Chapter with Bright Future

After two decades delivering the nightly weather, Nixon, aged 50, will sign off from this role later this month. Reflecting on her long tenure, she said with a smile, “I’ve been on air for more of my life than I’ve not. I’m looking forward to a breather.”
Although stepping back from weeknight briefings, Nixon will stay with Nine, focusing on travel programs Getaway and Postcards. She made this choice to devote more time to her family, especially as her youngest son, Ted, prepares to start high school alongside his older brother, Henry.
Expressing the gravity of her decision, she commented, “Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything but this is the right decision for me.” She added, “When I discussed it with our boys, they said ‘we’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum.’”
Memorable Moments in Weather Presenting
“One of my most memorable live crosses was at Healesville Sanctuary, where a green tree python wrapped around my neck. The snake squeezed and then tried to slither into my jacket. I’d never read the weather as quickly in my life.”
