NOVA Entertainment has announced that Livinia Nixon will join smoothfm 91.5 as guest newsreader.

Commenting on her new role Nixon said: “Filling in for Jen Hansen will be great fun for me and combines two of my interests: news and awesome music. I’ve been listening to smoothfm for a long time and as a mum, I love introducing my boys to my kind of songs.”
