Presenter
Andrew Lofthouse is the esteemed presenter of 9News Queensland's weeknight bulletin, alongside Melissa Downes, with an unwavering tenure spanning over a decade. Together, they have been the reliable purveyors of news that truly matters to the people of Queensland.
In 2009, Lofthouse joined the 9News team as a weekend presenter before seamlessly transitioning to the weekday spotlight.
But Lofthouse's path to the news desk is a fascinating one. Before embarking on his media career, he ventured into the music industry and teaching. His journey led him to a Gold Coast community radio gig, eventually propelling him into ABC Radio, where he honed his craft for 11 years.
At ABC, Lofthouse produced compelling stories for programs like Stateline and Australian Story. He conducted interviews in unique settings, from paragliding to abseiling and even racing cars, all while serving as the weeknight bulletin presenter for six years.
Beyond his relentless pursuit of news, Lofthouse is a man of many passions. As a founding member of the '80s Brisbane band Let's Go Naked, he still finds time to groove on the bass.
A dedicated runner, sports enthusiast, and car aficionado, Lofthouse's true home is by the beach.
