In May 2008 - Triple M's breakfast show was not going down well, with co-hosts Marty Sheargold and Fifi Box both believed to have threatened to walk over the program's ratings dive.

Sheargold reportedly clashed with new addition Paul Murray and Box after the show registered its worst result (down 1.5 percentage points to 5).

A Daily Telegraph article had suggested that former husband of Jackie O, Phil O'Niell may be taking over the Sydney breakfast slot.

[4] Another Nielsen Survey report had shown that [1], The Shebang had fallen another 0.5 points to 4.5 percent market share in the 6-9am time slot.

These include Backyard Riffs, Captain Obvious (after Fifi confessed on air that she disliked the segment) and Paul Calija's History Lesson.

There was some controversy surrounding the segment "Thank Dog You're Here" as one of the program directors David Rymer wanted to get rid of it, calling it "beige".

The pair have interviewed the likes of Ricky Ponting, Paul Stanley, Jennifer Aniston, Kiernan from Augie March, Bill Gates, Will Ferrell, Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, and Matt Damon.

This was all but confirmed in a report in the Daily Telegraph on 3 November 2006, which suggested the move would be announced shortly for 2007, and would make Box one of the highest-earning women in radio.

Also the article mentions that the negotiations between The Shebang and The Cage shows and time slots are still in progress and nothing is confirmed at this stage.

[6] In an article, Fifi Box is understood to have signed a new contract worth $500,000 a year, making her one of the highest paid women on the air.

[citation needed] In 2008, Triple M's Anthony Maroon replaced Drew (who was then put on the morning shift) as anchor.

It was sprung without warning, with Fifi Box and Paul Murray left to say goodbye without the presence of Marty Sheargold.
