In August 2010, Kitson presented her first on-air bulletin, filling-in for George Donikian on the Saturday edition of Ten News Melbourne (following Network Ten's AFL telecasts) and continued to occasionally fulfil this role until September.
Kitson has covered stories ranging from the Black Saturday bushfires to the south-east floods, the Occupy Melbourne riots to gangland violence, and marquee events such as the Spring Racing Carnival.
Kitson was a highly regarded news presenter at Network Ten, having covered major stories and made numerous reports over five and a half years.
She presented her final news bulletin following Studio 10 on the Friday when the majority of the 2014 morning line-up was axed.
In December 2014, Kitson made her first appearance on Seven News, making it official she would be joining the Seven Network via Twitter.
