My understanding was that they are distant relatives, but a RadioInfo article says otherwise.
Regardless, Shaun has worked for ARN in Brisbane since before K&J moved over.

Like the Marty Sheargold Show? Moonman in the Morning? The Christian O’Connell Show? It’s nothing new. It usually means they are the draw card (or have the biggest ego).

Interesting, Ali has been popular and Mix is a strong station so this should go well.
I suspect they are paying alot of money for Clarke and have been for Phillips so expectations will be high.

@AustralianAerial is that a mock or by ARN?

Kip’s a bit like the Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child) of Ash Kip & Luttsy. Absolutely intergral to the group but nobody is following when they split.
Ash & Luttsy are lucky they got to work with and train up Susie ONeill for so long so its not a stark change to the team

I wish the logo was more like Sydney and Melbournes

I’m glad it isn’t. The smaller the KIIS letters the better. The whole logo itself needs a rethink. It looks like a blow up doll, in a bad way…

I think the word KIIS needed to be in white as well

I have a good feeling this is their transitional logo,
You watch - in the next 12-18mths it’ll be full blown KIIS97.3.
I agree, the new 97.3 font looks woeful. They should’ve kept the frequency the same font as before and just tweaked the lip colours and added a small WHITE KIIS word above (I don’t see the point of hiding it).

Why don’t any of the press releases refer to her “returning” to ARN?

Listened to hot nights on Fox tonight. Really hard to listen to, it’s just so much one sided talk about… herself. Not open or broad and so whiny and entitled. I give it 6 months tops

Any update on Mike E and Emma?

I doubt it will even last that long. It’s a real turn off.

Woeful radio!

This makes no sense why does Ali’s name need to be front and centre?

Because she’s been a fixture of Adelaide radio for the last 20 odd years (Mix, 5MMM, ABC). Plus, it’s something different to the usual two or three person show names. And, you know, ego and stuff. They likely had to promise something like this to get her over from her high rating ABC show.

Correct, it will be interesting, the ratings haven’t been that bad in the scheme of things so I’m not convinced we will see a huge increase as popular as Ali is. I really thought they might try to get Jarrod Walsh involved as well.
Keep in mind Sodestrom seemed a popular guy as well. He still has his Channel Seven work but it will interesting if he turns up on another network. He would fit in best at MMM but there is not really an opening.
