The two Australian radio DJs at the center of the Kate Middleton prank call controversy are definitely feeling the hurt they caused, expressing in an interview that they never believed their actions would lead to someone’s death — and it has killed something else in it’s path: their entire show.

Michael Christian and Mel Greig sat down with Australian’s version of A Current Affair over the weekend to explain their actions and apologized for the phone call which led nurse Jacinta Saldanha to end her life.

“There’s not a minute that goes by that we don’t think about the family and what they must be going through”, Greig said during the sit-down ,”and the thought we might have played a part in that is discouraging … I wanted to just to reach out to them and give them a hug and say sorry, I actually do feel sorry, I really do.”

The tears are probably continuing to fall after that as it has just been learned that their radio show has officially been cancelled.

You can read on about that after the jump.

The company that oversaw the Hot 30 show on 2DayFM’s Australian station realize the damage that has been done because of the prank call and have decided that the show itself will be ending immediately.

In a statement issued this morning by the Southern Cross Austereo (SCA), they express “deep regret” for the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha after the phone call and say they “take the events of the last few days very seriously.”

The actions taken are as follows:

- The suspension of all advertising on 2DayFM until further notice;
- The termination of 2DayFM’s Hot 30 show;
- A Company-wide suspension of “prank” calls
- A comprehensive review of relevant company policies and processes

SCA says it has tried to reach out to the hospital, but had “no success.”

SCA doesn’t believe it broke the law by making the calls … but says it will cooperate with any police investigation.

The chief executive officer of SCA, Rhys Holleran also expressed “deep and sincere condolences to the family of Jacintha Saldanha” and is “providing support to our people who are deeply saddened by this tragic and unforseen event.”
