Giaan Rooney to present the weather over Christmas for Melbourne’s Seven News
Seven’s Melbourne station has hired Olympic swimmer Giaan Rooney to present the weather for Seven News over the festive period.
Rooney joins after a stint as a presenter on Nine, where among a variety of roles at the network she interviewed Australian swimmers poolside at the Olympics. She was also a holiday-period weather presenter for Nine’s Today show.
After presenting the weather over Christmas and New Year, she will front Seven’s Australian Open tennis coverage.
Rooney said in a press release: “The time is right to expand my horizons. Seven has so many great shows, it covers sport so well, there are so many opportunities. And what better way to start than the all-important weather reports during the festive season.”
Seven Melbourne’s MD Lewis Martin, said: “We’re thrilled to have Giaan on-board. She’s a natural in front of the camera, she’s versatile and warm and incredibly popular with viewers.”
I remember a couple of years ago the today show had a competition for a viewer to be the weekend weather presenter.
One day the girl who won was presenting at some event that Giaan was also at.
It’s hard to forget the daggers Giaan gave this girl live on air.
Good to see Giaan has finally got a prime weather gig….

Giaan is very attractive. So I would watch her present the evening weather. However, I don’t live in Melbourne, watch the news or am remotely interested in weather reports (which means I’m often caught without an umbrella.)
