In a move that has rocked the Australian media landscape, Channel Nine has called time on star broadcaster Karl Stefanovic's career with the network, effective immediately.

We're unpacking the fallout after the veteran journalist was dumped from the Today show following a highly controversial interview on his independent podcast with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

We look at the deleted episode that triggered crisis talks, the network's sudden exit statement, and how Pauline Hanson got involved.
