High-profile Seven star SACKED effective immediately in latest round of cuts as she reveals pathetic way bosses broke the news – and exposes what’s REALLY happening at the failing network

Sharyn Ghidella, a veteran presenter at Channel Seven, has been fired from the network after almost four decades in the media industry.

Ghidella, 58, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a devastating social media post, saying her “pat on the back” had finally come.

In her fierce Facebook post, she slammed the network for preferring gimmicks like astrology readings over retaining experienced talent.

“When you work in television for as long as I have, not a day goes by without expecting the proverbial tap on the shoulder… After 38 years, the time has finally come,” Sharyn began.

‘It wasn’t quite how I expected things to end at Channel 7. I was at work getting a haircut when I got the call that my time at the network was over, after 17 years.

Sharyn then said that her recent time at the network had been “miserable” and that she was glad to be leaving.

‘While I am somewhat saddened by this decision, there is also a sense of relief. As has been widely reported, the last few weeks on TV have unfortunately been a miserable affair.

‘A long list of talented, loyal and dedicated employees have been shown the door, in what seems to have been a never-ending process of slowly removing the band-aid on the wound when it comes to removing what was perceived as excess inventory.

‘These people are some of the best content creators in the business (well, we’re digital first now). They’re good people and it’s heartbreaking to watch.

Ghidella indicated that she is not a fan of the network’s gradual rebranding, which has seen more humor and pseudoscience injected into news stories.

‘I’m not someone who gets the evening news fed to me with humor and horoscopes, so honestly it’s time to go.

As I sometimes say, the caravan moves on. There is certainly still plenty of talent in the building and I wish them nothing but the best moving forward.

The news follows reports last month that a third senior Channel Seven employee had been made redundant, following the recent sackings of network veterans Robert Ovadia and Andrew Frampton.

Veteran Melbourne crime reporter Cameron Baud has recently been fired by The Network.

“He is not part of our plans going forward,” Channel Seven said in a statement.

Baud, who joined Seven in December 2010, was reportedly told on Wednesday by outgoing news director Shaun Menegola that he was no longer needed, the Herald Sun.

The resignation reportedly came unexpectedly. Baud was told to leave in the middle of working on a story, and immediately left the network’s Docklands headquarters.

According to reports, Melbourne’s new news director Chris Salter and the network’s head of news and current affairs Anthony DeCeglie are planning to lay off a significant number of employees in their Victoria newsroom.

Ny Breaking Australia has contacted Channel Seven for comment.

Baud’s resignation comes just a week after Robert Ovadia, a senior journalist at Seven, was also fired. He is still under investigation after an allegation of inappropriate behaviour towards a woman.

However, a spokesperson for Seven confirmed that the veteran presenter has been suspended while the investigation continues.

“Robert Ovadia is on leave. Seven is investigating allegations of inappropriate behavior by Ovadia,” the spokesperson said.

Ovadia has reportedly hired an attorney to represent him while the investigation continues.

“Seven has told me that no current or former colleagues have filed a complaint against me,” Ovadia said in a statement to The age.

“To the best of my knowledge, I have not been terminated by the company. Any suggestion that I have behaved inappropriately at any time is false, malicious and will be defended.”

Ny Breaking Australia does not allege that the allegations of inappropriate conduct against Ovadia are true.

Patrick Dybell recently took over as chief of staff of the Sydney news desk from the “highly respected” Andrew Frampton, who held the position for six years before suddenly leaving.

Last week was the Herald Sun reported that Frampton was “called into a meeting” on Thursday, June 6, and “left the building shortly afterwards.”

“Congratulations to Patrick Dybell who will be taking on the crucial role of Chief of Staff,” Sydney News Managing Director Neil Warren said in an email to all staff.

‘I would like to thank outgoing Chief of Staff Andrew Frampton for his many years of loyal service to 7News.

‘Andrew’s departure comes at a time when we are reorganizing into a newsroom that focuses primarily on digital. That was completely amicable and on good terms.

“We wish him all the best in his next challenge, in which he will undoubtedly excel.”
