Karina made headlines in 2023 when she made a dramatic exit from the ABC after working at the national broadcaster for a whopping 17 years. 'You know you love your job when you have to work when everyone else is on holidays and you don't mind it,' she joked to the Herald Sun after Seven announced her new role on Friday.

'I probably shouldn't mention the ABC but it's been so funny talking to some of my friends from there, because you don't actually realise that there's life after the ABC,' she joked. She also shared that she has been enjoying the jaunts to prized sporting events like the Test cricket and the Australian Open over the summer holiday period.
