Mitchell Sariovski will step away from the camera at the end of April, marking the end of his tenure as a reporter with Seven Network in Adelaide.
“Thank you to all South Australians who trusted me, after all it’s because of you that I was employed.”
The 28-year-old announced the move on LinkedIn, revealing he will shift focus to hospitality through his involvement with The Original Pancake Kitchen, an American-style diner.
Work history
Sariovski has spent nearly five years reporting for Seven, returning to the network in 2021 after earlier roles across regional newsrooms.
His career began at NBN Television in Lismore in 2017, before moving through roles with Seven in Lismore and Albury, including as a police reporter.
He also had a brief stint with Nine Network before returning to Seven.
‘Time to leave the dream’
Sariovski reflected on his journey from aspiring journalist to newsroom reporter.
“It’s hard to leave the dream behind… but it’s time,” he said.
He cited family as a key reason for the decision, adding that he plans to prioritise life with his fiancée and two children.
“Now, it’s about my family – my fiancé Lauren, and our boys, Jett and Arlo.”
From newsroom to restaurant
Sariovski has been with The Original Pancake Kitchen franchise since December 2024, according to his LinkedIn profile. The Adelaide-based brand has operated since 1965 and runs multiple locations across the city.
“After that… the only deadlines will be pancakes on plates, not news on screens,” he hinted.
Sariovski will remain on air until the end of April, then officially sign off from the newsroom.
