Deborah Knight will take a full time television role in Nine’s news division, following her decision to step away from her radio role.
In addition to hosting A Current Affair on Saturday nights, Nine has confirmed Knight will present the national Nine News morning bulletin at 11:30am each weekday, as well as presenting the daily Sydney afternoon bulletin.
Yesterday, news broke that Knight would be stepping away from her radio role at Nine’s 2GB, where she hosted the nightly Money News program. The show was syndicated across 3AW, 4BC and 6PR.

Nine’s news boss Fiona Dear called Knight “an exceptional journalist and a beloved figure on Australian screens”.
“Her extensive experience, versatility and deep connection with audiences make her the perfect fit for these key news presenting roles. We are thrilled to have her back full-time in our 9News and Current Affairs family.”
Knight said she was “incredibly excited to be stepping back into a full-time television role”.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to be part of the daily news cycle and connect with viewers during these important bulletins.”
Greg Byrnes, Nine Radio boss said she has been “an integral part of the 2GB on-air team since 2020”.
“Nationally, the Money News program with Deb as host, has recorded some of its best ratings on record and she finishes up as No. 1 overall in Sydney.
“We’ll miss Deb on and off the air but as she’s remaining in the Nine family she’ll never be too far away.”
Knights’ final radio show will be Thursday night, with a new host to be announced in coming weeks.
