Congratulations to the new OLD FM breakfast crew; Christian Oâdonnell, Simon OâDonnell & Brian OâDriscoll

Oh my, did they see your Tongue-in-cheek mocks? 
Surely they wouldâve for them to have used the term OLD FM in their post!

I doubt weâll see Gold96FM given the announcement already that Christianâs program will be on DAB+ in Perth.

This could all just be a promotional stunt, you know.
Well technically they wouldnât be changing the callsign, just the stationâs on air name. I assume 96fmâs callsign is still 6NOW.

They could, like when 6PPM became 6MMM when 92.9 rebranded from Hit to Triple M.

Theyâre changing their name to KIIS96.1, afterâŚ
We all thought (and knew with confidence) that it would become Gold96.1 and ditch the KIIS branding, but after reading this clarified news Iâm suggesting KIIS96.1 now.
Consider this 96fmâs final months on-air with the 96fm name and Classic Hits format before the inevitable change to the KIIS name, colours, pitched up Top 40/CHR/Pop/Dance and the introduction of the K&J show into Perth for Breakfast on a 2-hour (3-hour in DST) delay.
From 6NOW to 6NEW! New music most of the time and on repeat! /s
Well said. You would have to be right on the money. /s

Itâll be a shame for Perth to lose a heritage name that has stood the test of time. Now replaced by the overlords of K&J whose show is seeking to go national on FM in the capitals. Itâs clear Kyle wants his show on FM in all major capital cities and Christian on DAB+ because of 2 possible outcomes.
- Kyle wants his Sydney show to be the flagship show nationwide and appeal to a young audience. Also note that he doesnât really care about Melbourne so I wouldnât expect him to do the same for Brisbane and Perth (and potentially Adelaide). His (and Jackieâs) show is Sydney-centric.
AndâŚ
- Kyle wants Christianâs show on DAB+ because he feels itâs more suitable for the baby boomers. In reality, people of all ages are likely to give Christianâs show a try and come to love him. Probably more than K&Jâs Sex Talk. Expect sales of DAB+ sets to explode if people donât already rely on iHeartRadio.
Well Kyle, you want national syndication on FM instead of letting OâConnell have the spotlight on said band? Well it seems you win. But weâll just switch off your show. Watch 96fmâs ratings plummet massively. Goodbye to a true Perth FM institution.

Iâd say thatâs correct. Storm in a teacup. ARN would be outright mad to destroy the heritage 96FM brand considering it is rating quite well these days.
Clearly just another station tactic.
Itâs only promoted as being the biggest news âthis yearâ, not of all time. So I donât think itâll be a station rebrand.

Sure they could. But to what? ARN havenât bothered with any of the other KIIS or Gold stations so donât think theyâd start now.
Gold Sydney is still 2UUS
Gold Melbourne is still 3KKZ
Over at KIIS
Sydney is 2WFM
Melbourne is still 3TTT
Brisbane is still 4BBB

Thatâs a very good point.
Interestingly, Christianâs show performs REALLY strongly in the critical 25-54 demo with a cumulative audience percentage of 10.6%. In comparison, J&A in Sydney pull a 5.9%. Explains a lot about ARNâs decision, and its identified opportunities in Sydney.

I thought that had been changed to 3GLD⌠looks like they must have changed it back.
Could always use 6GLD in Perth, unlikely yes, but not impossible.
