Australia‘s popular “Today” TV host Karl Stefanovic has spokenn out following his exit from Nine Entertainment, posting a video to YouTube declaring himself “free, truly independent” and framing the split as a stand for editorial principle — days after an episode of his podcast “The Karl Stefanovic Show” featuring U.K. far-right agitator Tommy Robinson.

“Nine Entertainment and Karl Stefanovic have agreed that it is no longer possible for him to continue hosting ‘Today’ at the same time as his independent podcast,” the network said in a statement supplied to Variety. “While Karl and Nine had previously agreed he would leave ‘Today’ at the end of this year, they have subsequently decided he will leave the network immediately.”
