I’m not a regular KJ or 106.5 listener, but I tuned in at 8:30am fora bit. Jackie wasn’t there, it was possibly the day announcer? replaying a segment with Georgina Walker and Jackie which I assumed happened very shortly after the walkout.

Overall no. But Kyle and Jackie O is looser than any NZ show. Their ratings are too high and make too much money for ARN for them to try and reign them in.

Nothing like a few hundred dollars for your afternoon.

I guess we now know who will take over Kyle’s spot when he eventually retires… :stuck_out_tongue:

How late does their show run these days?

I switched to KIIS at nearly 11am this morning and Kylle was doing his best impression of a 2GB shock jock while bagging a 2GB shock jock.

I still don’t understand how he rates so well there.

At least 10:30am most days.
They do it to boost the 9-12 workday ratings.

I am surprised Nova have not considered running F&W to 10am as 9-12 is their weakest slot, maybe Nova listeners switch over to KIIS for an hour and a half of Kyle??

Jase & Lauren are under fire for a prank they did on Valentines day. I know it’s the Dailymail but it has no paywall so: Bryce Ruthven slams KIIS radio hosts Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips' 'disingenuous apology' | Daily Mail Online

I thought this particular part of Bryce’s reaction to their apology to be honestly just rude and unnecessary.

Obviously these ā€˜scandals’ are not uncommon in radio but this one seems to be particularly bad looking at the comments of KIIS’s and Jase and Lauren’s posts and the latter turning comments off all together.

Well if they usually enjoying themselves… they usually finish around 10.30 or sometimes before 11am or in one stage 11am. :smile::smile:

Gordie really don’t mind starting that late… I spoke to him on instagram before.

Seems pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things. Seems like Bryce just trying to drum up publicity for himself again.

I’m surprised they don’t just run K&JO later with non-live highlights from 6-7am hour at 10am etc. They could be live 6-10 and stretch it out further with highlights from early on in the show til midday, just with more music as the morning goes on.

It’s not quite that simple. For virtually every other breakfast show in the country, that would be the correct thinking of we pay you for X hours and you therefore work for X hours.
Not for K&J. They go until Kyle is done. Some days that might be earlier, other days later. For them it’s not just about having content for people to listen to - it’s about still being engaging, continuing with the flow and not wrapping things up prematurely. Playing highlights at 10, while it might seem the same, would completely break that flow and Kyle, more than anyone else, knows that.

It’s quite the opposite though. It seems to be mostly talkback from 9-11. I have to wonder whether Kyle prefers to do that and is just preparing for the day when he just does that. Maybe at another station?

Does Jackie stay the whole time?

I believe so. She was there until 11am yesterday.
