One of the main reasons, she said, was a shift in the customs of the media, especially under the core audience of the show.

“Younger demography in particular, who really let the show thrive in the beginning, have just evolved,” she said.

“They look at different platforms and look at different services.”

Mcgarvey admitted that the show had lasted much longer than expected: “We didn’t think we would be 16 years old here.”

McGarvey also praised the cultural impact of the program throughout Australia.
