Georgie Gardner calls time after more than two decades at Nine
Respected journalist and presenter Georgie Gardner has resigned from her role after a near 25-year career at Nine.
The Sydney newsreader, who will present her final 9News Sydney bulletin on Friday, April 17, said it was time for fresh beginnings.
“I could not be more grateful for the range of opportunities Nine has afforded me over nearly a quarter of a century,” Gardner said.
“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.”
Executive Director of News and Current Affairs Fiona Dear said Gardner’s versatility as a presenter saw 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,” Dear said.
“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 got her foot in the door of the media industry with a radio cadetship at Radio 2NX in Newcastle NSW in 1992.
She moved to Sydney in 1994 to read the news at 2Day FM in 1994.
She also worked as a television news reporter and fill-in presenter at multiple networks before she joined Nine in July 2002.
After starting at 9News presenting 6pm weekday weather with Brian Henderson and reading the Morning news, Gardner joined the Today Show in 2007 as newsreader and fill-in host – a role she held until 2014.
In 2018 she rejoined the Today Show as host for two years.
For the better part of 17 years, Gardner has anchored 9News Sydney’s 6pm weekend bulletin.
Gardner told viewers on social media it was time to embark on a new chapter.
“I’m open to new opportunities and I’m excited,” she said.
“Starting out at 2NX Newcastle in 1992 as a wide-eyed 21-yr-old from Perth, little did I realise my career path would be so rich and rewarding.
“Opening my mind to new ideas, satiating my curiosity for news and current affairs, highlighting causes for positive change, and accommodating my passion for communicating and connecting with people – broadcasting has been a great gift.”
Gardner said there were countless colleagues and interviewees who enriched her journey.
“They are the reason why the decision to resign has not been made lightly,” she said.
“So to them and our viewers, I am immensely grateful.
“It’s been awesome, and it’s time.”
