Peter Donald Beauchamp Hitchener[1] OAM (born 21 February 1946) is an Australian television presenter. He has been the chief news presenter for GTV-9 of their flagship bulletin Nine News Melbourne since 1998, and prior to that was the weekend news presenter.

Career

Originally from rural Queensland, Hitchener began his media career in 1965 at the Brisbane radio station 4BH where he wrote, edited and presented news bulletins. Hitchener then moved on to ABC Brisbane where he undertook roles as a television news and radio presenter. Still at the ABC, he moved to Sydney in 1973 where he was a relief presenter on the evening news for James Dibble.[2]

Hitchener moved to the Nine Network after one year at ABC Sydney, presenting National Nine News first in Sydney and then in Melbourne as the presenter of NewsCentre Nine. In 1977, Hitchener began hosting the breakfast show on 3AW before moving to 3AK in 1979. At about this time, Hitchener also became chief weekend news presenter and understudy to chief weeknight news presenter Brian Naylor. In 1985, Hitchener resigned from 3AK.[2]

When Brian Naylor retired in 1998, Hitchener took over as presenter of Nine News Melbourne on weeknights. In 2008 Hitchener celebrated 10 years as the weeknight news presenter,[2] and in that time has become one of Melbourne's most respected news presenters. In October 2010, Hitchener signed another three years as presenter of Nine News Melbourne.

In January 2013, the Nine Network celebrated Hitchener's 40-year career with the network at a gala dinner where many speakers paid tribute to his work in news and the community.[3]

In July 2014, it was announced Hitchener had signed a new contract to remain presenter of Nine News, believed to be for five years

[4]

Charity and community work

In 1998, Hitchener became the patron and active supporter of Able Australia (formerly the Deaf Blind Society of Victoria), an organisation supporting people with multiple disabilities.[5] Since 2011, he has been the patron of Dogs Victoria, an organisation representing breeders and owners of pure bred dogs in Victoria.[6] He is also an Ambassador for the Lort Smith Animal Hospital.[7] In addition he is a regular supporter and guest speaker for many other charity and community events in Melbourne.[8] He is also Patron of the Barwon Health Foundation and Eastern Health Foundation.

Honours

Hitchener was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in the 2017 Australia Day Honours list "for services to the broadcast media and to the community".[9]

Personal life

In April 2008, in a Herald Sun article regarding his 10 years as head presenter of Nine News Melbourne, Hitchener acknowledged he is gay.[2] Online commentators criticised the circumstances of Hitchener's personal revelations, saying that he was "pushed" into discussing his private life. Hitchener's spokesperson denied this.[10]
