Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has opted to call time on the Triple M Night Shift, and beloved presenter Luke Bona.
The show, which ran for nearly nine years, was nominated for four industry awards at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in 2019.
They included Best Talk Presenter, Best Current Affairs Presenter, Brian White Award for Radio Journalism and Best Show Producer – Talk/Current Affairs.
Bona announced the news to his fans in a statement, while thanking them for their loyalty over the years.
‘Our dear Night Shift family, It’s with a heavy heart that we share the Night Shift will be coming to a close this week, but management have graciously given us the chance for one last hurrah,’ he wrote.
‘For the last time from midnight ’til sparrow’s fart across seventy-something transmitters, we will do our best to entertain and keep you company.

‘If you’re a member of the family, we would love to hear from you so we get the chance to say farewell.’
It’s the latest in a slew of axings across Sydney’s radio sphere.
Mitch Churi made headlines last November when he was brutally dumped from his on-air hosting gig at KIIS FM.
Churi, 28, had hosted The Night Show with Mitch Churi since 2019, as well as The Pick Up with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne.
Mitch announced live on-air in November that he had been informed by KIIS FM management his contract would not be renewed, sending shock-waves across the network.
‘Late last week I was informed by the powers that be that they have identified my role here as one that won’t be returning in 2025,’ Mitch began.
Mitch then revealed he was blindsided by the decision and he wished it had not come to this.

‘I just want to say it wasn’t my decision or my call. I really wanted to stay on the show with you two. I really wanted to stay with KIIS.’
Triple M shows such as The Rush Hour with Gus Worland, Jude Bolton and Aaron Woods and the breakfast show hosted by Mark Geyer and Mick Molloy have also been canned in recent months.
The mass upheaval of Sydney-based radio stations means 19 presenters will not be returning to mics this year.
What’s more, there is only one Sydney-produced weekday show left; the new breakfast with Beau Ryan, Natarsha Belling and Aaron Wood.
