“Matt has worked at Seven for two decades but, sadly, that will come to an end next month, fittingly after Bathurst 1000.”
Seven News Sydney sports anchor Matt Carmichael has been made redundant after 23 years with the network.
Carmichael presented sport on Fridays and Saturdays. He has previously worked on Seven Morning News, Seven Afternoon News and Sunrise while also covering Olympic and Commonwealth Games.
The Daily Telegraph reports an email from Seven News boss Ray Kuka to staff:
“Matt will now be taking a well-deserved extended break. Matt leaves as a script craftsman,” he wrote.
“Matt has worked at Seven for two decades but, sadly, that will come to an end next month, fittingly after Bathurst 1000.
“We wish Matt all the best and look forward to celebrating his final weeks.”
