Just make Will & Woody 3-6pm and donât bother with any second drive show.
Itâs ridiculous now that stations choose two drive shows.

I heard part 1 of Lauren Phillipsâ interview with Kris Jenner on KIIS 101.1 just after the 8am news. It was done via Zoom (Lauren apologised that she was not able to fly to LA to speak to Kris in person). Kris revealed she had just filmed a new Uber Eats commercial with Kendall.
Kris was very articulate in the interview but there was little new information from what I heard so far.
Turns out the interview is not so exclusive at all.

My god KIIS 97.3 play some lame songs. I like a lot of John Mellancamp songs but both times Iâve flicked over to 97.3 lately theyâve been playing his most overflogged songs - Hurts So Good, and Small Town. Ugh⌠97.3 has always been like this, only the most overflogged songs. And how do these even fit with the KIIS brand? I donât get what their strategy is.

Strange that Lauren was in LA just a few weeks ago and they couldnât time it, guess Kris has a busy schedule!

They donât know what they are, half of their songs fit in Gold and the other half in Kiis
If they are going to be a Kiis station drop the 80âs and just be 90âs to now.

I thought someone mentioned KIIS97.3 now positions themselves as â100% Hits from KIISTORY to NOW!â

They are, even Sydney is using this positioner occasionally, KIIS 106.5 âSydneyâs #1 Hit music station is used the most.
Problem is KIIS 97.3 is trying to be something for everyone, fine in a regional market like Newcastle, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, but not Brisbane.
Either be a Pure Gold Station or a KIIS Network station and take on Nova106.9
But this cannot be done as ARN can only have one fm station in Brisbane. They were probably better shifting 97.3 to Pure Gold, and take on Triple M, and have Nova compete with B105.
KIIS 97.3 âfrom David Guetta to John Mellancamp, and everything in betweenâ

KIIS 97.3 is a mess. I agree they should have gone Pure Gold primarily and just skewed a bit younger than WS/Gold. Broaden the 80s and 90s they play, and include some newer hits. That would fill the gap perfectly between Triple M and Nova/B105. I reckon that would rate No. 1.

Just when we thought they axed âThe 3PM Pick-Upâ, it returns but with Sam Smith.
Why would KIIS have to reuse the name? Why not just call it a âtakeoverâ?

On a brighter note, itâs good to see KIIS97.3 are bringing back the good old silly on-ground radio comps/stunts.

It wonât be done because the format has worked well for them over the years and no need to drop the 80s as there are already 2 HOT AC stations in Brisbane playing 90s to now. Also, Nova is a 50% shareholder in the license, and it would be stupid to create a direct competitor to 106.9.

Brisbane and Perth only have one station each. Perhaps have the missing station in each market on digital only?
Pure Gold in Brisbane
KIIS in Perth

I think in Brisbaneâs sense, they donât really need to bother with having a PG DAB+ station - they just need to start to working with the River 94.9 team to slowly start integrate that station into Pure Gold.
With Perth though, 100% agreed - KIIS was never a good fit for 96FM - and I think itâs better for the station to be a Pure Gold station, and for advertising purposes have a KIIS Digital station on DAB+ (closing down the redundant 96FM 80âs DAB station in the pointless considering 96FMâs music is very 80âs focused anyway)
