Today presenter Clint Stanaway has announced that he will be leaving Channel 9 after nearly 25 years with the network. The 42-year-old sports and news journalist, best known for being the host of Weekend Today and the weekend sports presenter on 9News Melbourne, revealed that he plans to focus on his full-time role in radio.
Clint has been the newsreader for the Melbourne breakfast radio show Jase & Lauren since 2021, when they were on KIIS, and stayed with the team when they moved to Nova in 2024. While his multiple roles have earned him the reputation of being one of the hardest-working talents in radio and TV, he said in a statement on Tuesday that he wants to have “a better work/life balance”.
“I’ve always treasured my job, be it on 9News, as co-host of Weekend Today or as part of the Wide World of Sports team. I’ve met so many wonderful people, shared some incredible stories and experienced the most unforgettable moments. The thrill of live television is so addictive, it’ll never leave me,” he said.
“It’s been a huge workload juggling both TV and being part of the Melbourne Nova breakfast team over the past couple of years. I am passionate about my newfound love for radio and have decided to give it priority moving forward, while I also look to strike a better work/life balance. Unfortunately, that means leaving Nine at the end of the year.
“While I step away with a heavy heart, I suspect it won’t be forever. The Nine family has been so good to me, and for that I’ll be forever thankful.”

Clint’s career history
Clint began his television career with WIN in Bendigo before joining 9News as a reporter in 2005. He later landed the role of weekend sports presenter on 9News and became the sports presenter on Weekend Today in 2019.
Four years later, Clint was announced as the new co-host of Weekend Today alongside Jayne Azzopardi, who has since been replaced by Alison Piotrowski.
Hugh Nailon, Nine’s National News Director, said in a statement that Clint’s career at Nine is “a stellar example of what can be achieved through sheer hard work and dedication”.
“From the news library to the host chair of Weekend Today, he has excelled in every role,” he said. “He’s a brilliant journalist and storyteller, and an equally brilliant presenter. He has a terrific instinct for a story and has been a wonderful mentor to many in our newsroom. While he will be sorely missed by the Nine family, we wish him every success in his next chapter and thank him for his outstanding service.”
