Veteran journalist Deborah Knight is making a full-time return to television, stepping down from her top-rating radio show Money News on 2GB to take on a major role at the Nine Network.
Knight, 52, will anchor the national 9News Morning bulletin at 11.30am on weekdays and will also front the Sydney edition of 9News Afternoon, cementing her as a key face in Nine’s daytime news coverage.
Currently hosting A Current Affair on Saturday nights, Knight will continue that role alongside her expanded responsibilities.
“I’m incredibly excited to be stepping back into a full-time television role with 9News and Current Affairs,” she said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to be part of the daily news cycle and connect with viewers during these important bulletins.”
Knight also expressed gratitude to her Money News listeners, saying, “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in radio… and I’m grateful for the wonderful listeners who tuned in.”
Her final Money News broadcast will be on July 3, with her successor yet to be announced.
Knight’s appointment brings stability to the morning and afternoon bulletins, which have recently featured a rotating roster of presenters including Kate Creedon, Sophie Walsh, Mark Burrows and Lizzie Pearl.
Her broadcast career began at the ABC before moving to Network Ten, where she served as US correspondent. Knight joined the Nine Network in 2011 and has since held several prominent roles, including a controversial 2019 stint as Today co-host alongside Georgie Gardner, following Karl Stefanovic’s temporary departure.
She replaced Steve Price on 2GB Afternoons in 2020 and went on to host Money News in early 2023, taking over from Brooke Corte.
Knight’s full-time return to TV marks a new chapter in her versatile and enduring media career.
