Broadcasters on Mediaworks radio station Today FM let rip just before abruptly being pulled off air - as staff have been told they have the end of the day until it's confirmed they have lost their jobs.

A stationwide meeting happened this morning and were told the board is proposing to shut the station down and are open to submissions from staff until the end of the day.

The station's head of news Dallas Gurney recently left after being hired to launch the new outlet, attracting well known broadcasters including Duncan Garner and Tova O'Brien.
