Statement Regarding The Crazy Joe Show
Official Statement – 1st January 2026
Dare Media Group Australia has received correspondence from a small number of individuals regarding comments or conduct by the presenter of The Crazy Joe Show that occurred prior to the program airing on Dare Media Group Australia radio stations, including on other platforms, media organisations, and radio services not associated with Dare Media Group Australia.
Dare Media Group acknowledges these concerns. Any matters relating to past conduct have been reviewed and addressed prior to The Crazy Joe Show commencing on Dare Media Group Australia radio stations. The current iteration of The Crazy Joe Show is produced solely for entertainment purposes, is not intended to offend, and operates under new editorial oversight. This updated version of the program aligns with Dare Media Group Australia’s core values of Daring Australian Radio Entertainment.
Dare Media Group Australia maintains strict editorial, legal, and behavioural standards across all platforms under its control. While creative expression is supported, any breach of Dare Media Group policies, core values, or applicable laws will result in swift and appropriate action, up to and including termination.
For clarity, the YouTube channel titled “The Crazy Joe Video Chronicles” is independently owned and operated and has no affiliation with Dare Media Group Australia or any radio stations owned or operated by Dare Media Group Australia.
The operator of that channel has published the following disclaimer:
“Everything I say here on The Crazy Joe Video Chronicles is my own personal opinion. The same goes for comments left by viewers — they’re the views of the people posting them. None of it reflects the opinions of any radio stations, media organisations, or platforms I’m affiliated with.”
Content published on external platforms outside Dare Media Group Australia's control does not represent the views of Dare Media Group Australia.
Dare Media Group Australia remains committed to compliance, accountability, and responsible broadcasting.

Update on Dare Media Group’s Media Partnerships
Official Statement – Monday, 29th September 2025
Dare Media Group announces that, effective immediately, we have terminated our relationship with Mastiff.Media, Matrix Media, and their associated radio stations — Yergz Radio, Rainbow Radio, Forward.Radio, Right Talk Radio, Shady Newz Radio, and Mastiff Sports.
In addition, Dare Media Group has discontinued the overnight program “Up The Middle”, hosted by Ross “Yergz” Yerger, following serious misconduct while on-air. This conduct is not consistent with Dare Media Group’s core values of delivering “Daring Australian Radio Entertainment.”
Since his termination, Mr. Yerger has made a number of claims and accusations regarding Dare Media Group, our stations, and our employees. We wish to make it clear that these statements are false, untrue, and without merit. They do not reflect the facts of the matter and we reject them in their entirety.
Dare Media Group remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity across all our platforms and partnerships.
For further information, please contact our Director of Communications at: info@daremediagroup.com.au
Update on Dare Media Group’s On-Air Disclaimer
Official Statement – 14th September 2025
Here at Dare Media Group, we want to make something clear.
As a company, we don’t take political sides. Any views or personal opinions expressed by our team or the shows on Dare Media Group stations are just that — their own. They don’t represent our programming, and they don’t influence the media we deliver.
What we do stand for is quality, engaging content — the kind of unbiased media that lets you enjoy, think, and decide for yourself. We know that not every perspective will connect with every listener, and that’s okay.
Media is about choice, and you have the freedom to listen to what truly resonates with you. At Dare Media Group, our commitment is simple: keep it real, keep it engaging and fun, and keep it free from political bias.
If you’d like more information, reach out to our Director of Communications anytime at info@daremediagroup.com.au
Dare Media Group Australia operates online radio stations across Australia, including Radio X AU, Radio X Gold, Radio X Country, 6RXM Radio X Magic, and Dare Talk Radio.
