Today weatherman Stevie Jacob is leaving the weekday edition of the Nine breakfast after 12 years -but remaining within the Nine family.
“After 12 years I have decided to hang up my boots from Monday to Friday, but the good news is our esteemed leader Mark Calvert has come up with a great program to make my work more flexible, so that I can stay with you guys,” he said.
“I will be joining the weekend team and doing some weather there so I’m still part of the family. I just won’t be here with you every day.
“It’s just been a great honour to be part of this show.”
Host Karl Stefanovic, who said he started around the same time as Jacobs, said “You are a true broadcaster and mostly you’re a wonderful human being and a great dad.
“We may not see you every day but I know our audience will be pouring out emotion for you today as well.”
Jacobs, 49, is understood to be spending more time at his property in Vanuatu.

Wow… He’s 49???
He’s 49! It doesn’t seem that long ago he was playing a teenager on All Together Now. He must have been in his early 20’s then.
I was hoping it was going to say he was replacing Pete in the weekend main chair. What a pity he isn’t. Will miss him on Today, a genuine really nice guy.
What a very sad day. Along with Karl & Lisa, Stevie is the reason I wake up every day with Today. I just hope his replacement is just as good. Please just don’t let it be Natalia Cooper. After Brian Bury, Monte Dwyer & Stevie the next presenter has a lot to live up to & she is not the right person.
Stevie actually replaced Sami Lukas, who was also good.
