The show finished in October 2008, [6] with Sheargold being away because of the birth of his first daughter.

In May 2010, Sheargold joined Nova 106.9 replacing Ash Bradnam. In August 2011, Meshel, Tim and Marty moved to Melbourne and became the national drive show on Nova FM replacing Fitzy and Wippa .
