Eddie McGuire confirms that Karl Stefanovic will not be returning to co-host the radio program The Long Weekend following Stefanovic’s exit from Nine. Multiple reports state McGuire made the announcement after the broadcaster’s departure from the Nine network, characterising it as part of the fallout connected to that separation. The outlets agree that Stefanovic’s role on The Long Weekend will not resume, indicating there is no planned return to the co-hosting position.
While the reports do not provide extensive detail on the specific circumstances beyond referencing “fallout with Nine,” they consistently frame the decision as definitive. Taken together, the articles present the same core development: McGuire publicly confirms Stefanovic will not return to the show after his Nine network exit, closing the door on his participation in the program in its current format.
