Out of the Arena

Foxtel took over the management of the Arena Channel from XYZ Networks earlier this month and it has opted not to continue Kathryn Eisman’s role as a channel presenter.

Eisman was a reporter for the Xclusive showbiz programme.

“We are developing a new slate for Arena and unfortunately Kathryn doesn’t fit in with those plans,” a spokesperson told the Daily Telegraph.

But Eisman was upbeat. “From my perspective nothing has changed – I’m still contracted to XYZ and I respect that, I’m excited to be working with them,” she said.

“We’re just seeing how everything falls after the change.”
