Its not been good for some time now - Tim Burrowes from Unmade has tracked a group of media stocks since January 22 as the “Unmade Index”, it started at 1000 and never went above that mark. The index went below 500 in May.
A group (although I suspect there is only one or two people actively behind it) who have taken to citizen activism towards advertisers to rail against misogyny in the media (and more broadly the Murdoch empire). They launched after Alan Jones said something misogynistic about Jacinda Ardern.

Took a quick gander at their social media. I think the name Everything-That-Goes-Against-My-Personal-Beliefs-And-Opinions-Needs-To-Be-Cancelled is better suited, although probably a little too long, so MFW works better.
There’s no changing minds with people like that, they’re constantly convinced that they’re the victim and the world is against them, and everything that’s wrong in their life is someone else’s fault and never their own. And of course that all men are evil in some way.

Wait the mad witches have an app. Is that like a Karen app that you can cancel anyone?

Reminds me of the story of how Married With Children found success in the 80’s. Complaints about it being misogynistic bolstered its ratings and got it through several seasons.
Kyle thrives of this kind of attention, because more often than not, it works in his favour.

Married With Children was chauvinistic, not misogynistic. The m word is very much used out of context these days. Misogyny means a hatred of women.

My recollections on this are a little vague, so happy for corrections to this but - MFW crowdsourced to create an app that was a repository of information about companies that advertised in the Murdoch media.
The claim was a considerable amount of money was needed, and the app was complicated (lots of excuses). Crowdfunding was successful and subsequently nothing materialised which started the claims of grifting. Something did materialise as effectively a series of webpages but only lasted a few days

It’s hardly been on long enough in Melbourne to have any “Best of” K&J

They’ll probably include segments from Jan- April that Melbourne didn’t get.
Some would argue that Kyle and Jackie O have not been on long enough in Sydney to have a “best of” show.

Does KIIS 1011 have any airtime that is done for Melbourne only? It seems like the entire schedule are national shows and/or broadcast from other states.(Sorry if this has been discussed).
It’s just very off putting for me that it seems to have pretty much become a national station. I used to commonly flick between Nova, KIIS and Fox in Melbourne but I don’t really give KIIS much of a thought anymore. I’d rather listen to stations that actually have some local content in their daily schedules.

Gordie does do some Melbourne specific inserts during his dayshift, sometimes throwing out references to the AFL and other local references. But he will do the same for Brisbane and Sydney as well.
