Controversial broadcaster Paul Henry may be on his way back to New Zealand after having his Australian breakfast show axed by network bosses.
Australian network Ten released a statement saying Breakfast, which is fronted by Henry and journalist Kathryn Robinson, will cease production on November 30.
The show has lagged behind its rivals in the ratings since debuting on Ten in February.
"Breakfast television still represents an opportunity for Ten and we will return to the breakfast TV market at some point next year," the network's statement said.
Henry was reportedly being paid more than $1 million a year to front Breakfast.
