KYLE Sandilands and Jackie O will leave their 2Day FM breakfast slot at the end of 2013 after more than a decade on air together.
The decision was "mutual", said a statement on 2Day FM's website on Friday morning, and had been made in consultation with Sandilands and Jackie O (real name Jacqueline Henderson).
"Our focus will now turn towards developing a fantastic new show for 2014 with further announcements in due course," said the 2Day FM statement.
The pair will quit their breakfasts chairs on Friday, November 29.
Jackie O said on Friday, "We are excited about the next chapter" - although it is unclear what the pair's next career move will be.
"I think we've always been adamant that we would leave 2Day FM at a time of our choosing," Jackie O told listeners.
The Kyle and Jackie O Show has been a top-rating FM show, and this year the pair was named "best on-air team" in the Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs).
However, the program has also attracted plenty of controversy and criticism, mainly for Sandilands' outspoken comments and stunts.
2Day FM promised "a month of fitting celebrations" to farewell the duo.
Southern Cross Austereo's head of content Craig Bruce said he was proud of his breakfast team.
"Kyle and Jackie have not only given Sydney radio audiences the most entertaining radio show ever, they have also raised millions of dollars for charities and those in need whilst also enthralling listeners with the world's hottest music artists and exclusive interviews with famous Hollywood celebrities.
"They have certainly lived up to their show mantra 'Breakfast with the Stars!' None of which could have happened without the strong and dedicated team working hard behind the scenes."
The pair thanked a lot of people who had contributed to their show, and also told listeners a bit about their relationship on air.
"We do share really deeply personal moments in our lives," Jackie O said.
"Sometimes a bit of oversharing happens," Sandilands added.
The news of the pair's departure came weeks after Southern Cross Austereo pulled the plug on its duo Matt Tilley and Jo Stanley's long-running Melbourne's breakfast show.
The pair will wrap up presenting the FoxFM Matt & Jo Show at the end of the year.
Last month Southern Cross Austereo also axed Triple M's Merrick Watts and The Highway Patrol, with Julian Schiller and Rachel Corbett. There was conjecture that had been done so the network could afford to keep Sandilands and Jackie O.
Southern Cross Media shares plunged after the news was released.
Shares in Southern Cross Media, which owns 2Day FM, were down 10 cents, or 5.29 per cent, at $1.79 at 1433 AEDT.
