The Forbes and Fix Show on 5FM is described as "intelligent, witty, easy-going by nature and an impressive music knowledge". In 2012, Forbes earned himself a daytime radio show on youth radio station, 5FM. After nine years and over 7000 hours of radio time, he has decided it's time to hang up those headphones.
In a statement he issued on Twitter, Forbes says there is no "next radio show".STATEMENT: Friends, it's time.
I'm hanging up the headphones. Permanently. Thank you for listening ♥️ pic.twitter.com/tzGL44LNeC

I’m so happy you got to announce your departure this way too. Vs a weird presser that just dropped you from the lineup. You’re an inspiration Rob. Now you’ll have more time to play games with me?! YAY

Fix left an inspiring message
Lastly, to all women in radio, it will not be an easy journey for you but you can succeed. Don’t make it a competition, just support one another because we are all going through the same struggles. Her win does not mean you lose. Clap for her, support her, encourage her.
