Is this simply a case of K&J signing a deal late in the year, then disappearing on holiday over summer and they simply have not done the technical work or rehearsal to sort out how they are going to window content into Melbourne?

Soooo true.
Whatâs the bet K&J will turn networked programs on its head. He wonât hide the fact theyâre coming out of Sydney.
I wonder if theyâll âdo a Hadleyâ and occasionally broadcast from Melbourne to better connect with the locals?
Or better still, maybe theyâre delaying the Melbourne arrival so they can âmassively announce itâ to their Sydney listeners (many of which still wouldnât have a clue of this happening).

Then why would they be back already then?

Definitely. I donât know how much theyâll play into the fact that theyâre from Sydney, but Kyle will have no interest in pretending theyâre Melbourne locals. And that wouldnât work anyway. Everyone knows heâs from Sydney and their main selling point is that the countryâs biggest show is now in Melbourne (albeit that is also one of its biggest detractors).
I donât think theyâll be in Melbourne very often - only when their work actually brings them to Melbourne, not to create some sort of local illusion.

Nope, theyâre back on in Sydney next week. The new studios in North Sydney wonât be ready for a while still.

Hereâs a conspiracy theory that I openly admit is 99 percent change of being wrong. But just what if this has all been one big publicity stunt?
We know Kyle and Jackie arenât strangers to that and while KIIS in Sydney doesnât need any help, itâs got people in Melbourne talking about the station too.
Thatâs not to say they wonât go on air there, they probably will for a period of time - but I just find the whole thing a little strange at the moment. As I said, probably am totally wrong.

Few more news articles around now about the delay.
Apparently show may not launch until second quarter (so March to June) and Byron Cooke looking after the slow until then. This was (apparently) always part of the plan.

Coincides with the North Sydney move.

Its smart - gives the station brearhing space between the old show and the new to let the complaints etc die down.

Youâre also assuming Jase and Lauren would want to keep the seat warm for Kyle and Jackie O, knowing they would be leaving soon.
Itâs possible their contracts were up at the end of the calendar year2023 too.

Maybe ARN Sydney will also switch to Zetta at their new studios which would make much more sense to have both Syd and Melb on Zetta for show networking purposes.

In other words, itâll take Kyle a few months to learn how to use Zetta properly. It would take a normal person a few days, maybe a week, but with all the sick days⌠

The plan is definitely to have the new studios on Zetta. It shouldnât make too much difference for networking though. Nexgen and Zetta are compatible for networking and is currently working fine for Will and Woody coming out of Melbourne into Sydney live.
