Radio duo Dan Debuf and Maz Compton have announced they're quitting 2Day FM after a "roller coaster" four years at the station and a failed tilt at the competitive breakfast timeslot.
The comedians announced their weekend show would be their last on Friday, just over one year after they were dumped from the Sydney breakfast timeslot due to poor ratings.

"Like many of you, we're off on Christmas holidays, but next year we won't be coming back," the pair wrote on their Facebook page on Friday. "It's been awesome doing this show for the last four years, and thanks so much for all your love!"
In October 2015 the duo were bumped from Southern Cross Austereo's breakfast lineup and shunted to the weekend breakfast slot, to make way for the high-profile pairing of Rove McManus and Sam Frost.
But their successors have also failed to gain any traction in the difficult Sydney breakfast market, ending the year with 3.8 per cent audience share, only slightly higher than the 3.6 per cent Dan and Maz were sitting on were they were booted to the weekend.
Both hosts signalled on social media they would be moving on to new things after scaling the heights of commercial radio.
"Hanging up the headphones," wrote Debuf on Instagram along with a picture of a 2Day FM microphone. "After almost a decade of doing radio, I guess it's time to try something else."
Compton also signalled she was quitting radio, declaring on Facebook: "Bye bye radio land (for now)".
"It's my last weekend on air at Southern Cross Austereo. What a roller coaster four years. Thanks to all the legends that have tuned into the Dan and Maz Show in the many different time slots and to the super rad teams we've worked with."
In another cryptic Facebook message, which she has since deleted, Compton wrote: "And suddenly you know ...It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."
The pair had been with SCA's Hit Network since 2013, debuting in a nightly show before moving to the drive slot in 2014. They were promoted to the struggling breakfast timeslot in January 2015 before being dumped and sent to weekend in October that year.
SCA has struggled to fill the breakfast slot after radio heavyweights Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson were poached by KIIS FM in 2014.
Dan and Maz were both poached from Nova before joining SCA. The pair presented the breakfast show in Adelaide together between 2009 and 2012.
