Another Channel Seven star is reportedly set to leave the network after 13 years.
Sports presenter Tim Watson is ‘ready to call it a day’ and hand over his weeknightly sports bulletin during Melbourne’s 6pm news, according to The Australian’s Diary.
Watson landed his commentary role with Seven in 1992 after retiring from AFL.
Rebecca Maddern is believed to be in talks with the network about taking over from Watson once he departs.
She will switch from working weekends to reading sport Monday to Friday.
Meanwhile, the network’s new presenter Karina Carvalho, who recently moved from ABC, could take over Maddern’s weekend role.
The rumoured shake-up comes after Sharyn Ghidella made her comeback last week as she started her new gig on Channel 10 news.
The Queensland-based news presenter, 57, was sacked from 7News last month after 17 years with the network amid a string of media job cuts.

She has now joined Network 10 to anchor the 5pm Queensland news bulletin.
Her move to the network will also bring the 10 News First show back to its Brisbane studios after years of it being read from Sydney.
Sharyn described her new job as a ‘full-circle moment’ as she returns to Network 10 after beginning her metro news career with the channel back in 1990.
‘I wonder if my security tag still works,’ she joked in a video announcing the news.
‘Returning to 10 News First feels like coming home,’ the veteran broadcaster added in a statement.

‘Network 10 gave me my first big break in the early 90s, and to be back here, delivering a local news service for Queenslanders, is beyond exciting.’
She was recruited by Brisbane’s Channel 10 newsroom at the age of 24 as an on-the-road reporter and update presenter.
Sharyn moved to Sydney’s Nine Network in 1992 and became a regular newsreader on the Today Show, before moving to the Seven Network in 2007.
She has presented the network’s Brisbane bulletin since 2013 but was axed from her role after 17 years last month.
