Sydney radio host Jimmy Smith quits 2DayFM breakfast show due to mental health, replaced by Nath Roye and Emma Chow.

Sydney radio host Jimmy Smith has abruptly left the 2DayFM breakfast show, citing mental health struggles and the need for recovery. Southern Cross Austereo confirmed his departure, with Nath Roye and Emma Chow taking over for the rest of 2025. The move follows a record-low audience share of 2.9%, far behind rivals Kyle and Jackie O. Smith’s exit adds to the station’s long history of instability in the breakfast slot, often called “the poisoned chalice of radio.” Social media accounts linked to the former team have been removed.
