Loyal listeners rallied on social media, calling it a sad day for the local community as well as thanking both announcers for being a part of their morning for the past two years
Carly and Seamus will be replaced by a Queensland wide breakfast show from Townsville.
Southern Cross Austereo reported a significant drop in advertising revenues, 18.9% decline for the 2019 – 2020 financial year.
