It\u2019s official, Tom Steinfort<\/a> and Sylvia Jeffreys<\/a> are the new hosts of Today, with the news confirmed on Thursday morning that they will take up the permanent roles on Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

The announcement came as breaking news on Thursday, with newsreader Jayne Azzopardi sharing the big news. <\/p>\n

Tom Steinfort and Sylvia Jeffreys will lead a revamped Today show into 2027.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Behind the desk both Jeffreys and Steinfort were delighted to confirm they\u2019ll be making their spots on the show permanent. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the pleasure of being part of the\u00a0Today\u00a0family for nearly 15 years and it\u2019s always felt like home. It\u2019s an honour to continue the legacy of this programme, to be welcomed into the homes of our audience, and to steer the show into a new era alongside Tom,\u201d Jeffreys said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cAustralians turn to Nine when big stories break and we are fully committed to bringing our audience the trusted news, entertainment and great Aussie characters that\u00a0Today\u00a0is famous for. We are excited to launch straight in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steinfort echoed the same feelings and said he\u2019s \u201cpumped\u201d to be taking on the hosting gig permanently. <\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought I\u2019d be this pumped to be getting up at 3am every day, but it\u2019s a privilege to be part of such an iconic show. Where else can you be grilling the Prime Minister one minute, then making an absolute goose of yourself the next?!\u201d he said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m thrilled to be doing this alongside Sylvia \u2013 she\u2019s a brilliant broadcaster, a great mate and a lot of fun. We have an incredible team around us, and such a loyal audience\u2026 I can\u2019t wait to get stuck in.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Jeffreys joining Today, Belinda Russell<\/a> will permanently join David Campbell<\/a> as host of Today Extra.<\/p>\n

And with Steinfort\u2019s appointment, Alicia Loxley will continue hosting 9News Melbourne\u2019s 6pm weeknight bulletin.<\/p>\n

The confirmation of their roles came a day after Sarah Abo announced she was leaving Today<\/a> and the Nine Network. <\/p>\n

Abo, 39, who is currently on maternity leave<\/a>, will leave to pursue other opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWords can\u2019t express how grateful I am to our viewers for letting me into your homes to be part of your morning routine,\u201d said Abo, in a statement released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
