Karl Stefanovic is set to end roles with Nine and a planned radio position following fallout from a controversial podcast interview with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Multiple outlets report Nine holds high-level crisis discussions after the interview, with Stefanovic then removed from the Today program and associated duties. Reports also say he is likely to lose a weekly radio show connected to his next career move, including a stint on ARN Media/Gold, with the ABC reporting ARN Media is preparing to drop him from the new radio show. Other coverage frames the changes as part of a potential shake-up to Nine’s breakfast television lineup, while noting the outcome could provoke backlash from audiences who support Stefanovic. Across the reports, the common thread is that the decision is linked to the reaction to the Tommy Robinson podcast interview rather than a separate unrelated issue. Details on the timing of the departure and the full extent of role changes vary by outlet, but all describe a break with Nine and removal from an upcoming radio arrangement in the wake of the interview controversy.
