Cancelled! 2Day FM axes breakfast show hosted by Grant Denyer and Ed Kavalee after months of dismal ratings - and it will be replaced by 'just music'
The 2DAY FM breakfast show starring Grant Denyer, Ed Kavalee and Ash London has been axed.
The announcement was made by the Hit network on Thursday, after the show suffered dismal ratings over the past 18 months.
It was revealed that the morning program will be replaced by a music show, rather than a new breakfast show with new hosts. It is now the sixth breakfast show to be axed by the network in six years.

In a statement to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday, head of the Hit Network, Gemma Fordham, said Sydney-based listeners can expect an 'exciting and upbeat breakfast alternative' with their new music show, before thanking Grant, Ed and Ash.
'A huge thank you must go to our breakfast show team, Grant, Ed & Ash, for the past 18 months - they are absolute professionals, have been a true delight to work with and have contributed to a culture of fun, community and inclusiveness we are proud of at 2Day,' Gemma said.
Gemma added that Ash will continue to host her weeknight show, Ash London Live, Ed will still fill in for Kate Langbroek when needed, while Grant will 'make appearances' around the network.
The last breakfast show for Grant, Ed and Ash will air on Friday, before Jamie Angel takes over the helm with the music show on Monday.
It comes after it was revealed just last month, that KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O still maintained the number one spot in the radio ratings.
Data from the latest GFK radio survey revealed the KIIS FM duo retained their top spot against their rivals.
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson celebrated the win on Instagram, writing: 'Thanks for making us number 1 Sydney. We love you guys!!'
The impressive 10.9% market share result marks the seventh consecutive survey win for radio duo.
Previously co-hosts on 2Day FM, the media personalities defected to KIIS FM in January 2014.
