Karl Stefanovic Out and Free

Karl Stefanovic has officially called it quits after 21 years at Nine, declaring himself “free” and “truly independent” as he pivots to his own podcast and YouTube channel. He credited Elon Musk for enabling free speech and thanked fans for sticking with him through the rollercoaster of his TV career. While admitting the past few days were tough, he’s ready to move forward — emphasizing the importance of hearing diverse viewpoints and letting audiences decide for themselves. His exit, mutually agreed upon with Nine, was accelerated by the logistical challenge of juggling breakfast TV with his independent show. Former co-host Sarah Abo broke the news on air, visibly emotional, while Stefanovic ended his farewell video with a playful kick and a run — leaving fans wondering what’s next but confident he’ll figure it out.
