Two well-known radio hosts have found themselves at the centre of a storm after making what listeners have branded a 'vile and immature' comment during their live broadcast.
The presenters, who have not been named, allegedly crossed the line with a joke that left many audience members shocked and offended. Social media quickly erupted with criticism, with some calling for the duo to be taken off air.
Public Outrage Grows
Listeners took to Twitter and Facebook to express their disgust, with one user writing: 'This kind of humour has no place on public radio.' Others accused the hosts of being 'tone-deaf' and 'insensitive.'
Station Responds
The radio station has since issued a statement acknowledging the incident but stopped short of apologising. 'We are aware of the comments made during yesterday's show and are reviewing the matter internally,' a spokesperson said.
Media watchdogs have also weighed in, with some suggesting the presenters may face disciplinary action if the joke is found to breach broadcasting standards.
Previous Controversies
This isn't the first time the hosts have courted controversy. Last year, they were criticised for a segment that some deemed inappropriate for their morning audience.
As the debate continues, many are questioning where the line should be drawn between edgy humour and outright offensiveness in radio broadcasting.
