Karl Stefanovic stands aside from this week’s edition of ARN’s The Long Weekend

The Long Weekend on ARN’s GOLD Network is set to go ahead tomorrow minus Karl Stefanovic, amid uncertainty over his future at Channel Nine.

Nine Entertainment’s Sydney Morning Herald (subscription required) reports that the Today Show host and Nine are negotiating details of an early exit from the rest of his contract, after a controversial episode of his independent Karl Stefanovic Show podcast was removed from his feed but later re-uploaded on Pauline Hanson‘s YouTube channel.

And so this week, it looks like Stefanovic’s radio co-host Eddie McGuire could well be flying solo.

ARN has confirmed The Long Weekend will go ahead tomorrow, but without Stefanovic, who has made the decision to stand aside – though no long-term decisions have been made.
