ABC Breakfast Announcer

Scott Levi presents the Daytime Shift on ABC Central Coast.

With 20 years of radio experience under his belt, Scott now returns to where he grew up, on the shores of Lake Macquarie at Eleebana. After a short stint with BHP, Scott kicked off his radio career at 2KO in Newcastle, then 4AY Townsville where he met his dearest darling Catherine.

In Townsville, Scott became involved in theatre and undertook an AMEB Speech and Drama course. He has acted in a number of plays including the Australian premiere of Steven Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George. More recently Scott has performed professionally in the Christmas pantomime Cinderella (as an ugly sister!).

Along the way, Scott has worked as programme director and breakfast presenter at 4LM Mt Isa, 2MC Port Macquarie, a short stint in the newsroom at 2WS Sydney, 6IX in Perth, 2WG in Wagga Wagga and most recently as a producer with ABC Riverina. During his time in Wagga Wagga, Scott has won a prestigious RAWARD (Commercial Radio Award) and received the Premier's Award for Community Service.

Scott has also dabbled in television, presenting three bicycle-touring documentaries shown on Channel 7, Ten-Capital, Prime TV and The Lifestyle Channel - involving another one of his passions, cycling. The move back to the Central Coast has rekindled fond memories of summer nights dragging for prawns at Canton beach and swimming at Shelley Beach as a youngster.

As a young man, Scott's love of rock fishing took him to the rugged coastline between Catherine Hill Bay and Norah Head. Fishing at locations like Fraser Park and his secret spot "the pulpit", although these days he prefers the safer waters of Tuggerah Lakes and Lake Macquarie.

The son of well known Newcastle journalist Vic Levi, one of Scott's more disturbing childhood memories was spending the night in a 'Ghost House' near Wiseman's Ferry when his father was writing a series of newspaper articles on haunted houses. The house was later used as the setting for the horror film The Inn of the Damned.

Scott and his dearest darling Catherine have four children; Emily - a Bio Medical Science student at Ourimbah Campus; Alexander; Charlotte; and baby Harry, born on the 4th of April 2007 at Gosford Hospital.

Scott is an active Patrol Member of Terrigal Surf Lifesaving Club and loves nothing better than hanging 10 on his longboard off Avoca Point but usually falls off before getting those "toes up on the nose".
