Career

Nine Network

Schluter presented the weather on National Nine News in Brisbane for nearly 25 years; he ended his affiliation with the Nine Network in September 2006. In the late 1980s, Schluter did voice-over work for Brisbane Ten (TVQ-0/10) but returned to Nine. He was subsequently replaced by weekend weather presenter Joseph May.[1][2]

Seven Network

Schluter was later signed by Seven News Brisbane as a fill-in weather presenter for Talitha Cummins, a position that was later made permanent following high ratings for the then-third rate Seven bulletin.[3] His tenure at Seven News coincided with the bulletin overtaking Nine News, where he formerly worked, in the Brisbane television ratings battle; Seven continued to lead in the Brisbane market until it was again overtaken by Nine News in 2013.[4]

In November 2013, Schluter retired as a weather presenter and was replaced by Paul Burt and Tony Auden. He continues to host a weekly Flashback item and act as a fill-in weather presenter on Seven News.

Personal life

Schluter was educated at the Anglican Church Grammar School.[5]

He is married to former Brisbane television identity, Chris Collins, who presented news on Brisbane's Ten News with Rob Readings from 1987 to 1989. He also has a son.
