Nine presenter Georgie Gardner will leave the network next month, after 24 years.
Gardner started at 9News in 2002, presenting 6pm weekday weather and reading the morning news.
She moved to the Today Show in 2007 as a newsreader and occasional host where she remained for the next seven years. She was also appointed anchor of 9News Sydney’s 6pm weekend bulletin in 2009, a role she held for the proceeding 17 years.
Gardner said she “could not be more grateful for the range of opportunities Nine has afforded me over nearly a quarter of a century”.
“Anchoring news bulletins across the day, as well as reporting and hosting roles on virtually every news program at the Network has been incredibly satisfying and an enormous privilege.
“I will be forever thankful for having worked with countless colleagues, who are quite simply the best in the industry and I am humbled by the knowledge that there are viewers who have followed my career.”
Fiona Dear, Nine’s executive director of news and current affairs, said: “Georgie’s versatility as a presenter has seen her hold almost every on-air news role at Nine. It’s a remarkable achievement and during that time Georgie has been loved and respected by audiences across Australia.
“She has had a front row seat to some of the most important moments in history, delivering the biggest news stories to audiences first thing in the morning, in prime time at 6pm and late into the evening with Nightline.
“Georgie’s professionalism and composure during breaking news events makes her one of the most talented newsreaders in the country. Georgie’s decision to step away from television news has our full support and we thank her and wish her well in her future endeavours.”
Gardner will read her final bulletin on Friday April 17.
