The position as US Nine bureau chief would give Jasmine the chance to expand her successful shoe business in the US, while the new locale would mean negative press prone Karl would stay out of the headlines.
The position would also mean Nine would finally be getting value out of his salary.
There have already been rumours swirling that Karl would accept a job at his old post on the Today show, having been stood down from the role after plummeting ratings and viewer backlash, the television bosses have had second thoughts about their decision and feel maybe they were too quick to lay blame on Karl.
So Karl being offered this far better role within the Nine family would come as no surprise.
“Karl’s gone and the ratings have fallen even more, so they realise now there was more to it,” said a television insider.
Could this be a new beginning for Karl?
