Stephen Dixon's career started at Nottingham Trent University where he read for a BA in Broadcast Journalism. Before working for Sky News, Stephen worked for ITN as both a presenter and producer for ITV, NBC Superchannel and then the brand new Channel 5. He also helped work as producer and programme editor on Channel 4 Big Breakfast News and presented on now-defunct finance channel Simply Money with Angela Rippon.[1] Stephen was the first newsreader in the world to report the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
In October 2010 he made an unfortunate slip, asking Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb if his brother Maurice might be watching. Maurice died in 2003.[2]
