Beloved radio duo announce shock split as they ditch breakfast show: ‘Our journey has come to an end’

Radio station 2DAY FM is in the middle of a major shake-up.

The Mike E & Emma Show co-host Emma Chow announced Tuesday that she would be leaving the duo’s Weekend Breakfast show, which airs in Sydney.

She shared the show with Michael Etheridge for over a decade.

“After almost 14 years, Mike E & Emma’s journey has come to an end,” she said in a social media post.

“We were babies when we first started at The Edge, and I am so incredibly grateful and proud of every second of radio we did together,” she continued.

“Thank you most of all for listening to us and growing up with us.

“Although you will see us doing our own thing from now on, we are still great friends and wish each other nothing but the best. 2025 is a new chapter.’

The show started in 2011 on ARN and switched to 2DAY FM in 2021.

Chow could move to join Jimmy Smith and Nath Roye on the weekday breakfast, the Daily Telegraph reports, but the channel has not yet responded to the rumor.

It comes after another much-loved radio duo announced a major update to their breakfast slot.

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson have surprised fans with a very unlikely change to their hit show.

The Kyle and Jackie O Show is known for its trademark crude and explicit humor, but the co-hosts have now promised to tone down their antics.

Shock jock Kyle, 53, and Jackie, 49, have failed to win over Melbourne viewers since expanding into the city in April 2024, causing radio ratings to fall.

However, seemingly in a bid to win over fans in the city, top-rated Sydney KIIS FM show has now promised to ‘behave’ and tone down their cheeky antics.

“After almost 14 years, Mike E & Emma’s journey has come to an end,” she said in a social media post

A new tagline advertising the show reads: “Listen now. We behave’, in an apparent attempt to appeal to a wider Melbourne audience.

The ad has been plastered all over Melbourne buses as the breakfast show mocked their naughty reputation.

Kyle and Jackie famously interviewed people about their sex lives and revealed how to identify an erotic massage parlor in some racy segments of their show.

But after the show was introduced in Melbourne last year, KIIS FM management transformed the show to make it more accessible to the new market.

In November it was announced that Kyle would be reducing his signature graphic sexual content in an attempt to appeal to the Melbourne market.

“The sexual content was really only a small part of the show,” ARN’s chief content officer Duncan Campbell told Mumbrella.

‘Because it was graphic, it caught everyone’s attention – but [Kyle’s] I actually took that away.

‘It’s still sexual content. But not the explicit sexual content it once was.”

Campbell told the outlet that Kyle was the one who “came to the table” with toning down the graphic content and is passionate about winning Melbourne.

‘[Kyle] wants to win in Melbourne. There is no doubt about that,” he added.
