Broadcaster set to lose Gold slot following Nine departure
Karl Stefanovic is set to lose his weekly show on radio network Gold days after the broadcaster was ousted by Nine following a string of incidents culminating in a controversial interview with British extreme right activist Tommy Robinson.
Stefanovic began hosting a weekly radio show with longtime broadcaster Eddie McGuire called The Long Weekend this year on the station owned by ARN, which recently settled a lawsuit brought by former star presenter Kyle Sandilands.
The one-time Nine star did not appear on last Friday’s episode following the furore over his interview with Robinson and departure from the television network, and is not expected to return, with ARN making a business decision to move on from the broadcaster.
ARN declined to comment. Stefanovic was approached for comment.
