Livinia Nixon Embraces New Chapter with Positive Outlook
Livinia Nixon, the beloved weather presenter known from "Hey Hey, It’s Saturday," is concluding her 20-year tenure as Nine’s weeknight weather anchor this month. She reflects on her extensive career with humor: “I’ve been on air for more of my life than I’ve not. I’m looking forward to a breather.”
Continuing Roles and Family Focus
Although stepping back from nightly weather updates, Nixon, 50, will remain with Nine, appearing on travel shows Getaway and Postcards. Her decision was motivated by a desire to spend more time with her family, especially as her youngest son, Ted, prepares to start high school alongside his older brother Henry.
She acknowledged the privilege of entering viewers' homes every evening and expressed deep gratitude for her role:
“Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything but this is the right decision for me.”
Her children were supportive of her choice:
“When I discussed it with our boys, they said ‘we’re pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum’.”
Memorable Career Moment
One standout experience during her live broadcasts came while reporting from Healesville Sanctuary. Nixon recounted a close encounter with a green tree python that wrapped around her neck, squeezed tightly, and tried to slip inside her jacket:
“I’d never read the weather as quickly in my life.”
This moment highlighted her professionalism and composure under unexpected circumstances.
