When her sister Hillevi Engström, who is a politician for the Moderate Party, became secretary of employment after the general elections in 2010, Hübinette had to resign from her work as a journalist at Agenda and Aktuellt.[1] She however remained working at SVT, where she became a foreign reporter for the show Korrespondenterna.[4] One year later she started presenting her own talk show, called Hübinette, which aired for two seasons in 2011 and 2012.[2]

Karin Hübinette returned to presenting Agenda in 2014, after the program changed format and added Camilla Kvartoft and others as presenters.[5] This means that if her sister appears on the show, one of the other presenters can interview her.[5]
