Correction
yesterday I said Lachie Kilby has joined Maddie from 6 am to 9 am, on Power FM Ballarat Breakky Show, that is wrong, Lachie only does the last hour with Maddie, so only does 8 am to 9 am

This is interesting, but the more I think about the more I think they won’t find an issue. How could/should one be excluded from owning a station simply because your sibling owns a competing one? Two independent people, even if they have previously co-ran a radio network together.

How I read this basically we will most likely continue to have shared logs across all the Hot AC stations.

It will be good if ARN rolls out DAB+ to the regional areas, following the acquisition. They will then be able to broadcast their iHeartRadio stations into regional areas on DAB+ as well as The Edge, 80s and 90s.

Good timing for the Gold Coast dab+ roll out, they will be able to match SCA with their digital offerings. and get access to the Gold Coast thanks to their acquisition of Hot Tomato.

So the deal was expected to be finalised today, has it?
Was expecting KIIS idents to play at 12AM last night to signal the takeover and the announcement of syndicated Kyle and Jackie O to replace regional breakfasts… what a let down!

regional breakfast was going to stay, if anything it would take over from Fitzy and wiper. and it’s not KISS fm regional, it still going to stay with the grant radio stations name

The announcement was completion by November 30, but at the UBS presentation a few days after the announcement it changed to January 2022

No one outside of ARN and Grants really know anything at this stage. Probably find KTJ will be replaced by Will and Woody and K&J Hour will run as well. Apart from that, I doubt much will change. Especially so quickly.

I just noticed on Bay 93.9 & K Rock’s Facebook pages that it says “Wollongong Broadcasters PTY Limited is responsible for this page.” Has this always been the case or is it because of the latest ownership shake up (I know Grant’s are keeping the Geelong stations)?

Hello & greetings from Florida.
To be honest, I think the Power FMs (NSW, VIC, & SA), Star in Queensland, & Magic FM in South Australia won’t see any initial changes in branding. The only ones I can see rebrand quickly to KIIS are the two capital stations Grant owns, 7HO in Hobart as KIIS 101.7 & Hot 100 in Darwin as KIIS 100.1. There’s also 102.9 Hot Tomato in the Gold Coast & Hot 91.1 in the Sunshine Coast, who might rebrand alongside 97.3 FM in Brisbane to KIIS, while River 94.9 in Ipswich moves to Mt. Coot-tha and flips to Pure Gold in place of 4KQ.
I can also see Hitz 93.9 in Bundaberg & the two Sea FM stations in Tasmania rebranding, at least, unless SCA doesn’t mind ARN using those names. I’m not sure what happens to Chilli FM in Northern Tasmania. Luckily, it doesn’t seem like the jointly-owned Grant & Capital stations won’t be involved, which saves us from any chaos in Perth or Canberra.
