High profile presenters among Nine job cuts
After 31 years at Nine, Jonathan Uptin has been let go
Nine News Queensland sports anchor Jonathan Uptin and Sydney news and weather presenter Amber Sherlock are among the approximately 50 job cuts being made across Nine’s streaming and broadcast division.
Sherlock was absent during yesterday evening’s news broadcast, replaced by presenter Sophie Walsh. She had been with the network since 2007, working on Today as the show’s business reporter, before moving to weekend anchor. She has been a news anchor and weather presenter at Nine News Sydney since 2011.
Nine News Queensland sports presenter Jonathan Uptin was also made redundant. Uptin had been with the network since 1994, working across various newsrooms in Sydney, Newcastle, Darwin, and Queensland – where he replaced Wally Lewis as weeknight sports presenter in early 2023. At one stage, during Karl Stefanovic’s elongated contract negotiations, he was floated as a possible replacement for the Today role.
