Carly Portch Sacked After 15 Years on Air

Carly Portch has broken down after revealing that she has been axed from her Triple M radio slot. 

The radio host and producer, who has worked across Triple M and the Hit Network and hosted Triple M Breakfast with Robbie Von,  

In an emotional video shared on this week, Portch said she was 'nervous' about her future after working in radio for the past 15 years. 

'Yesterday me and my co-host were pulled into a meeting and given the option of doing our final show today,' she began. 

'Radio has been my comfort zone for the last 15 years. It's allowed me to connect with people,' she continued.

'It's allowed me to scratch that pop culture itch that I've always had and share celeb gossip, as superficial as that feels.

'It's allowed me to fundraise for causes that I care deeply about. It's allowed me to travel this great country...' Portch trailed off, before breaking down in tears. 

'It's allowed me to feel genuine human connection with people each morning,' she went on through tears.

'I know people have their opinions about radio, but I have witnessed firsthand how it brings people in communities together, and to be a part of that has been amazing. 

'I would be lying if I said I'm not going to miss it, and that I'm not nervous for what comes next.'

Portch said she will now focus on her podcast, called Unpacked & Oversharing with Carly Portch, which she started at the beginning of the year as a passion project. 

'I realised a big part of what I do in radio, I can literally do here, which is connecting with people, creating things, sharing pop culture and interviewing people,' she said. 

She then urged people who enjoyed her radio show to follow her online and engage with her podcast. 

There was plenty of support for the radio star in the comments section of her TikTok video, with many fans upset about her show's cancellation.
