PLEASE DO NOT DONATE

• This is a petition to show Ned & Josh that this was not the community’s decision and we want them back on the air.
  
• This is a petition for anyone who has been victim to a toxic workplace culture.

Last week Ned & Josh went into work to do their show. This was just like any other day for them and for us - the listeners. What no one, other than the Amplify management, knew was that they would be locked out of the building immediately after leaving for the day and advised in text they were yesterday’s news.

Amplify have confirmed no wrongdoing by Ned and Josh and that they are simply “finished” with this show and will be announcing the new direction later this week. How can we stand by and allow our own community members to be treated this way? Right before Christmas?!

This is tall poppy syndrome amidst a toxic workplace culture, and we have an opportunity now to let Amplify’s management and board know that they have made an incredibly poor strategic decision for radio in this region.

These wonderful humans have bolstered and reassured us every morning for six years and have given so much of themselves to this community and charities we all love and support.

We would like an apology from Amplify management and the SCA board. They have used these young men as their puppets to gain a mass of love and support for their own financial gain.

Our community are educated, and we’re motivated to do the right thing. We will not settle for this.

There are thousands of comments, just like the ones below, can be found on media websites and social media:

"I loved these guys on air together, so did the American Ambassador, Caroline Kennedy. They were “so Canberra."

"How incompetent is the management team at this radio station to bluntly axe such a popular morning show. I hope they informed potential Skyfire advertisers that Ned and Josh, after heavily promoting the return of Skyfire, wouldn’t be hosting it as they did pre-covid. I would be after a refund. Looks like it is back to SnowFM in the mornings now."

"How unprofessional! Doesn't matter if you liked these hosts or not! No Staff should be treated like this and especially long standing employees."

"Loved Ned and Josh. Disgraceful way to treat staff 104.7."

" Totally shattered! You guys did not deserve this… I loved hearing you in the mornings. Time to change stations."
