Channel Seven host erupts in wild spray at radio boss live on air: 'Incredibly disrespectful'

A prominent Channel Seven presenter created a stir when she turned on a colleague during a live broadcast this week. Regular presenter and footy guru Caroline Wilson shocked The Agenda Setters panel when she slammed Craig Hutchinson, who hosts the sports show alongside Kane Cornes. Hutchinson, who is a boss at the Sports Entertainment Network, created controversy earlier this month after SEN purchased the racing station RSN. During the lively spat, Wilson took Hutchinson to task over the way he handled the takeover, which led to a very public sacking of two popular RSN presenters Daniel Harford and Michael Felgate. Wilson was upset that Hutchinson had appeared on Felgate's Racing Pulse podcast to tell listeners that the show would not be continuing.

He confirmed that Hartford breakfast show would also be axed in his chat with Felgate. Agenda Setter panelist Nick Riewoldt opened the discussion of SEN's $3.25 million take over during The Spill segment. Wilson then weighed in with a spray aimed at Hutchinson's decision to announce the sackings live on air. 'This is no respect, disrespect I should say, to Michael Felgate or Daniel Harford for that matter,' Wilson began. 'But if you're going to remove me from the show, can you please not do it with me on-air?' Hutchinson was not amused and quickly took aim at Wilson. 'This is not something to joke about,' he said, while Wilson retorted: 'I'm not joking about it.' Hutchinson then told viewers that the story of the live on air sackings was 'incorrect' and that it 'did not happen.' He also laid down the law to his panelist, adding, 'That's incredibly disrespectful and disappointing.' 'Oh, don't. Craig, you walked into the studio, I know Michael Felgate already knew that his show would no longer be continuing,' Wilson said. 'But if you're going to do it to me, I would rather it happen behind the scenes and not on air.' Hutchinson went on to explain to viewers that a press release about the changes to RSN's programming a day before his on air appearance. He added, 'And there was a mature, two-way conversation on-air and you're making light of it, which is disappointing.' Wilson then appeared to lose patience and told her colleague: 'Oh, grow up.' Hutchinson had addressed the RSN programming changes in a chat with Felgate last week during his Racing Pulse show. 'There's nothing personal about (cancelling) either of those programs… we need to invest, over time, into the racing product, it's a racing station. 'It's a different audience to the one that we have developed over on SEN Track, very different audience, very different experience, they don't really resemble each other after midday.' Harford's breakfast show will be off air by the end of August, while Felgate's program faces the same deadline. He will be replaced by Giddy Up hosted by Gareth Hall.
