Eddie McGuire has reportedly been axed from his own show with Channel 9 making a major shake-up. <\/p>\n

Code Sports <\/a>reports the media mogul has been told his time on Nine\u2019s flagship AFL show Footy Classified is up with the network making a call to cut the Tuesday edition of the show. <\/p>\n

Nine will continue to run Monday night\u2019s edition of the post-weekend footy panel show, which features a different line-up. <\/p>\n

In an awkward twist, McGuire\u2019s media company JAM TV produces the show.<\/p>\n

JAM TV also produces Nine\u2019s Footy Furnace, which will reportedly expand to take a more prominent role to help fill the void left by Tuesday\u2019s Footy Classified disappearance.<\/p>\n

It comes as rival Channel 7 offering Agenda Setters continues to flex its muscle in the footy content space with the show expanding to three nights a week this season.<\/p>\n

According to Code Sports, the Monday night edition of Classified, which features Sam McClure, Matthew Lloyd, Jimmy Bartel and Damian Barrett, will return in 2027.<\/p>\n

The popular Sunday Footy Show, featuring Lloyd, Tony Jones, Nathan Brown and Barrett, will also return next year.<\/p>\n

McGuire will reportedly continue to have a role at Nine, including hosting the network\u2019s Melbourne Cup Carnival coverage. <\/p>\n

He will also continue to be involved in football \u201cspecial events\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is the latest shake up to a footy media landscape that has been on a rollercoaster since Seven\u2019s aggressive push to carve out a larger piece of the pie, spearheaded by Channel 7 sports director Chris Jones. <\/p>\n

Footy Classified was launched in 2007 with SEN media mogul Craig Hutchison and veteran news reporter Caroline the faces of the experiment. <\/p>\n

Having spent years hosting The Footy Show and serving as Nine Network CEO, McGuire took a featured seat on Footy Classified in 2020 to host the Wednesday night edition of the show. <\/p>\n

Footy Classified was moved from Wednesdays to Tuesdays in an attempt to avoid going head to head with Seven\u2019s Front Bar, hosted by Mick Molloy and Sam Pang. <\/p>\n
