A feud has reportedly erupted behind the scenes at Southern Cross Austereo, after an incident involving network stars Lawrence Mooney and David 'Hughesy' Hughes.

Their feud apparently began when Hughesy, who co-hosts 2Day FM's Morning Crew, invited Mooney's co-anchor Jess Eva onto his own show but failed to promote Moonman in the Morning - despite both programs being part of the same network.
