Deb Knight returns to full time TV role – One of Australia’s most respected journalists and broadcasters, Deb Knight, is returning to a full-time television role within Nine’s News and Current Affairs team, effective July 21.
Deb will take on the role of presenter for the national 9News Morning bulletin at 11:30 AM each weekday and will also present 9News Afternoon each weekday in Sydney. In addition to her expanded weekday responsibilities, Deb will continue to host A Current Affair on Saturday nights.
As a result of this new commitment, Deb will step away from radio where she’s host of the nightly Money News program across the Nine Radio network (2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR).
Fiona Dear, Nine’s Director of News and Current Affairs, welcomed Deb’s return to a dedicated television role:
“Deb is 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.”
Greg Byrnes, National Content Manager of Nine Radio, acknowledged Deb’s significant contribution to radio:
“Deb has been an integral part of the 2GB on-air team since 2020, but her ties to talk radio stretch back much further. 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.”
Deb Knight shared her excitement about the new chapter:
“I’m incredibly excited to be stepping back into a full-time television role with 9News and Current Affairs. It’s a fantastic opportunity to be part of the daily news cycle and connect with viewers during these important bulletins. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in radio, particularly hosting Money News, and I’m grateful for the wonderful listeners who tuned in. I’m also very pleased to continue hosting A Current Affair on Saturday nights.”
Deb will address listeners directly on the Money News program tonight from 7.00pm across 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR.
Her final Money News show will be this Thursday with a new host to be announced in coming weeks.
