ESSEX FM DJs Martin and Su will be back on the air tomorrow, the station confirmed today.
The DJs were taken off the air on Monday while the station discussed the implications of some inappropriate comments made on air.
Programme Director Chris Cotton said: "We have managed to resolve the issue and Martin and Su will be back on air tomorrow.
"It was the outcome we'd hoped for so it is a good outcome for us.
He added: "I've had over 3000 individual emails and all of them are positive about Martin and Su, so they will be really pleased and find it very gratifying."
When asked about the speculation that their removal may have been just a publicity stunt, he said: " To take a show off the air in order to get more listeners would be really risky, I can't see how that would work for radio."
Mr Cotton was also quick to say that the reason the duo were taken off the air had nothing to do any comments regarding sex education and scouts, as some listeners have speculated, adding: "It had absolutely nothing to do with that, there were some comments made about scouts which were close to the bone, as Martin and Su can be, but that's part of their charm.
When asked if he could confirm the real reason they were removed he said: "I really can't say, I'd like to as it would make it easier to explain, but if you bring up the issue up again its like you're making those comments all over again and we've been advised not to do that."
Corringham fan Tania Furber, 32, who organised a protest to get the DJs back on air said: "I'd be really annoyed if it turned out to be a publicity stunt, but I honestly don't think it was."
