Mia Glover is set to present the 9News Queensland weekend bulletin, commencing this Saturday, February 4.
Glover has spent most of her career with the 9Network, joining the 9News Gold Coast newsroom as a reporter in 2016 for two years before becoming a part of the 9News Brisbane newsroom. After becoming a mother in 2020, she returned as the Queensland Correspondent for the Today Show.
Glover’s weekend news appointment means that she will continue with her Today Show commitments.
She said: “I’m over the moon to be calling the 9News Queensland weekend desk my new home – a home that looks a lot more tidy without a three-year-old son running around.
“It’s always been a privilege to deliver Queenslanders the latest news and share their stories, but to be able to be a frequent companion for them each weekend is something I’m especially looking forward to, and would never take for granted.”
Nine Queensland director of news, Amanda Paterson, said: “Mia has been on the ground for some of the biggest local and international breaking stories throughout her career, and has demonstrated an incredible presence when presenting both local and national bulletins.
“Mia makes a wonderful addition to our new 9News Queensland bulletin lineup and I’m looking forward to Queenslanders continuing to turn to our bulletins for the stories they can trust.”
9News Queensland recently announced Jonathan Uptin will take over as the news bulletin’s sports presenter for the 6 pm bulletin, alongside news reading duo, Andrew Lofthouse and Melissa Downes.
In addition to the new appointment, Uptin also marks his third decade in the industry making his media milestone even more special. His appointment comes as Wally Lewis, stepped down from sports presenting duties this year to pursue more opportunities within the 9Network and up the ante on new and existing community and charity initiatives.
Mia Glover joins the 9News Queensland weekend bulletin at 6.00pm from this weekend.
