Sarah Abo has today announced she will conclude her time as co-host of Today and depart the Network at the end of this year to pursue other opportunities available to her.

Sarah said:

“Words can’t express how grateful I am to our viewers for letting me into your homes to be part of your morning routine. Without you, there is no Today show.
“Together with 60 Minutes, I’ve spent my time at Nine chasing stories, travelling and reporting from all over the world, interviewing some incredible and inspiring people from all walks of life. Becoming a mum has heralded a new chapter and sharing that with our audience has been truly special. As many of you know, this has been a significant journey for my family and will continue to be my greatest achievement.
“I’d like to thank the wider Today team – the amazing crew, incredible producers and my wonderful fellow hosts – you all know how much you mean to me. It takes a special kind of crazy to wake up at the hours we do but it’s so much easier when the team feels like family. I’ll miss you all dearly.”

Nine Executive Director of News and Current Affairs, Fiona Dear, said: 

“Sarah has been an integral part of the Today team, bringing warmth, energy and first-class journalism to the program each morning.
“It takes enormous skill to front three-and-a-half hours of live television every day, and Sarah did it with sharp journalistic instincts. We thank her for everything she brought to Today, and wish Sarah and her family all the very best.”

An announcement regarding the Today line-up for 2027 will be made soon.
