Tova O'Brien is reportedly locked in a legal stoush with her former employer.
The former Newshub political editor is set to make her morning radio debut later this month on a brand new MediaWorks show.
But she is taking Newshub's owner to court over a three-month restraint of trade clause, Newsroom reports.
O'Brien is taking her former employer to the Employment Relations Authority in a bid to escape the clause, which would prevent her from starting work for a competitor until three months after her former contract ended.
