Karl Stefanovic Dropped From Radio Show with Eddie McGuire
ARN is seeking confirmation after the move came three weeks after The Long Weekend launched with Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire.
- On Wednesday, radio network ARN severed ties with broadcaster Karl Stefanovic, removing him from Gold FM's The Long Weekend program just three weeks after its launch.
- Nine Network sacked the 51-year-old last week after his podcast interview with British anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson, which executives deemed incompatible with his Today program hosting duties.
- During the hour-long interview, Stefanovic praised Robinson's "courage" and "tenacity," drawing criticism for favorable treatment of the figure who holds previous convictions for fraud and stalking.
- Co-Host Eddie McGuire, a media veteran and former Collingwood Football Club president, will continue hosting with ARN, though the program's format may now be reshaped around him.
- Declaring himself "free" and "truly independent" on YouTube, Stefanovic advocated for freedom of speech while admitting uncertainty about his future, saying "Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do.
