Liz Hayes, 68, has over 40 years of experience with Nine. The network is going through a very turbulent time right now, as new CEO Matt Stanton has announced cuts of up to $50 million by July 2025. In the midst of this, New Idea has discovered that Liz may be planning her departure, which would ultimately lead her to Network 10.
Details on Liz Hayes
Liz Hayes’s main show at Nine, Under Investigation, has been the subject of weeks of rumors that it may be cancelled. The series was not listed among the returning programs at the network’s 2025 programming reveal event last week. The rumors that it was being dropped or “rested” were rekindled by its disappearance.
According to insiders, Under Investigation’s imminent demise after just four years would send a chilling message to all on-air talent, since nine veterans, including publicity chief Victoria Buchan, have already been let go.
During the presentation last week, Nine affirmed that Liz will continue to anchor 60 Minutes in the upcoming year. Alongside Karl Stefanovic, she will also be in charge of Nine’s coverage of the next US presidential election.
According to sources, Liz Hayes‘s continued appearance on 60 Minutes should “be interesting.” When producers asked Tracy Grimshaw to perform the show’s recent sit-down with Elle Macpherson, she reportedly became irritated.
According to reports, Liz and Tracy’s relationship degenerated as a result of the contentious interview.
However, in private, Liz reportedly felt enraged that the former anchor of A Current Affair had invaded her space. Liz’s refusal to defend Tracy after the interview was criticized for Elle’s divisive remarks regarding her cancer treatment is telling.
Liz may be able to get assistance from a number of her former Nine coworkers who have already gone to Network 10 if she does ultimately decide to do so.
Liz also has a good relationship with Lisa Wilkinson, a former co-host of The Project, and newsreader Sharyn Ghidella switched in September. In fact, Liz has been playing cupid for Lisa and her husband, Peter FitzSimons, for many years.
