There exist strong evidence supporting the co-evolution of central supermassive black holes and their host galaxies; however it is still under debate how such a relation comes about and whether it is relevant for all or only a subset of galaxies. A rich multi-wavelength dataset is available for the North Ecliptic Pole field, most notably surveyed by the AKARI infrared space telescope. We investigate the star-formation properties of the host galaxies of radio-AGN together with the radio feedback mechanism, potentially responsible for the eventual quenching of star formation. Using broadband SED modelling, the nuclear and host galaxy components of these sources are studied as a function of their radio luminosity. Here we present results concerning the AGN content of the radio sources in this field, while offering evidence supporting a maintenance type of feedback from powerful radio-jets.
