Livinia Nixon

Livinia Helen Nixon was born on March 19, 1975, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She pursued a comprehensive education, attending Lauriston Girls’ School, Deakin University, and completing a Graduate Diploma in Applied Science at Melbourne University. Nixon began her television career in 1994 with appearances in “Blue Heelers” as a nurse. The following year, she featured in an advertisement for Physical skim milk, marking her early entry into the media landscape before joining GTV-9 in 1997.

Her career at GTV-9 encompassed various roles, starting with the children’s show “Plucka’s Place” in 1997. She quickly transitioned to co-hosting the iconic Australian program “Hey Hey It’s Saturday” from 1997 until its cancellation in late 1999. Nixon also gained experience in radio, working on Nova 100 in Melbourne and co-hosting the drive shift on TT FM with Ed Phillips. This collaboration led to their partnership in co-hosting the revamped game show “Temptation” from 2005 to 2009. Her broad experience further includes appearances on “Today,” “Carols by Candlelight,” “Micallef Tonight,” and co-hosting “Weekend Today,” “Things To Try Before You Die,” and the “Logies” Red Carpet Arrivals from 2008 to 2012. She also co-hosted “Test Australia: The National IQ Test” with Eddie McGuire.

Since 2004, Nixon has been the chief weekday weather presenter for “Nine News Melbourne.” In 2011, she expanded her weather presentation duties to the national bulletin of “Nine Afternoon News,” eventually transitioning to the Melbourne-focused afternoon bulletin in 2017. Nixon is also a regular contributor to the travel program “Getaway,” filing stories from various international locations including Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Samoa, Japan, France, and India, as well as locations across Australia. In 2009, she participated in the “Hey Hey It’s Saturday” reunion specials, which led to her resuming her co-hosting role during the show’s revival in 2010. In 2020, she began hosting weekend breakfast on Nine Radio and co-hosted “Carols by Candlelight.” She has authored two books, “Discover the Weather” and “Henry’s Pirate Adventure,” both published in 2017. Nixon is also an ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and World Vision.
