Rebecca Maddern, Karina Cavalho: Tensions over a top newsreading job burst into the open at Channel Seven Melbourne


It's set to become one of the biggest shake-ups in TV history, with rumours Karina Cavalho will replace 7NEWS Melbourne star Rebecca Maddern, following brutal job cuts at the network.

Cavalho this weekend covered Maddern's usual evening news anchoring role alongside Mike Amor after she flew overseas for a family wedding. 'Some staff think Karina was hired to replace Bec,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia, noting that Maddern had been 'very vocal' about defending her patch on the newsroom floor lately. 'I am delighted to be joining the first-class 7NEWS team in Melbourne and looking forward to making a valuable contribution to the ongoing success of the network,' Carvalho said at the time.
