KIIS Network

Kyle gets a mention on the latest episode of Last King of the Cross and was in a scene played by an actor whose name I can’t find anywhere.

His name is Govinda Roser. :slightly_smiling_face:

Advertisers have fled the show before. They’ll probably lie low for a while then quietly come back.

Or not. Everyone has a use by date, including K&J. A middle aged couple hosting a CHR breakfast at the end of the day.

On top of the Melbourne situation though? I can’t see KIIS gaining a lot of advertising revenue in the southern capital for some time.

They’ll be on 2GB before we know it :wink:

Fair point. But I did say “a while”.

We can laugh but it is something he has aspired to do for some time.

You’re 100% correct.

The thing that really fascinates me is how a show with two presenters aged 49 and 53 is still able to have relevance and dominance amongst Sydney listeners over half their ages!

In breakfast:

18-29 … KJ #1 with 20% of the cume.
30-39 … KJ #1 with 22% of the cume.
40-49 … KJ #1 with 19% of the cume.
50-59 … KJ #3 with 12% of the cume (WSFM#1, Smooth #2)

They could do what they wanted because they were always so dominate, failing in a major market when they want to roll out further makes them vulnerable and people questioning the massive deal.

They are now seen as less than a sure bet, that hurts.

If these two are middle aged they’re going to live to a ripe old age. :crazy_face:

Few interesting points:

  • SCA/ARN/Nova/Nine regularly share ‘rough’ revenue figures with each other fortnightly to allow for them to gauge the market - ARN has been missing from this for a few fortnights (as an aside, wonder if the ACCC would be interested in this)
  • Article seems to suggest that the MFW campaign is having an impact, CEO Ciaran Davis denies this
  • Davis also denies that ARN has been distracted by the SCA bid
  • Davis said that there are no plans to change course, drawing parallels with Christian O’Connell who took 18 months to get to the top of the ratings

Interesting. What is the MFW campaign?

It’s annoying how they try to justify the K&J networked breakfast with Christian’s show. They’ve never tried to network Christian’s show into other markets as yet so it’s such a false comparison.

I’m also very surprised that the major operators compare rough revenue figures. I would think the ACCC would be interested. Imagine if it came out that banks did this.

Surely ARN are smart enough to know there’s differences between Christian who despite his radio experience was relatively unknown in Australia vs K&J who are very much well known.

what a ridiculous comparison. The two situations are completely different.

Remind me again how ARN’s bid for the AFL rights went.
