Fox FM forced to cancel listener party in wake of coronavirus

Fox FM’s breakfast show ‘Fifi, Fev and Byron’ cancelled a listener event this morning, where hundreds of guests were meant to assemble on the station’s “World-Famous Rooftop” as part of a $30,000 competition giveaway.

Instead, listeners were given the option to ‘live stream’ the party on YouTube, which featured hosts Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola and Byron Cooke huddled on the rooftop attempting to conduct the party without guests.

The $30,000 as part of the Key Party was still given away.

Seems like a huge over-reaction. Hopefully all those involved in the decision have taken the necessary steps to ensure they have an adequate supply of toilet paper for the impending quarantine period.
