Wendy Kingston is a reporter and presenter for Nine News.

[edit] Career

Kingston's media career began in 2000 working as a reporter and newsreader for ABC Radio Brisbane, before moving to ABC Radio Rockhampton. In 2001, she moved to WIN News as reporter and fill-in newsreader for the Toowoomba bulletin. After six-months, Kingston was appointed as full time presenter of the Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast WIN News bulletins.^[1]

In 2005, Kingston resigned from WIN and moved to Sydney, where she was picked up by the Nine Network to report for Nine News in Sydney.^[1]

She began presenting the Morning Edition of Nine News at the start of 2007, replacing Georgie Gardner who moved to the Today Show. In late 2007, she was replaced by then-Afternoon Edition presenter Kellie Connolly.

In July 2008, Kingston presented the final bulletin of Nightline. Following this, she was appointed presenter of Nine News PM Edition.

Kingston remained host of the afternoon bulletin until May 2009, when she moved to presenting Nine's Late News. This was due to the replacement of the 4:30pm bulletin with This Afternoon, a new news and current affairs program hosted by Andrew Daddo and Katrina Blowers. After Kingston moved to the late news, the Afternoon News was presented in Melbourne for a 7 week period with various presenters.

In October 2009, Wendy Kington returned to her previous role as the presenter of Nine News: Afternoon Edition. The following month, she switched from reading the Late News to the Nine Morning News Hour.
