I cant either, they stopped the smut for a while there and were genuinely funny, then they just went into the toilet again.

This highlights a loooong held failure of media policy - moving to the self-regulation model has made it hard for ACMA to interject without following due process.

The ACMA chair called it a co-regulation model. But clearly even that isn’t working either.

Found another segment from Media Watch on K&J, this time on that urine segment.
(From September 2024)
The segment is buried in this video.
WARNING: NSFW content (audio-wise) during K&J segment.
NSFW and yet, perfectly ok for breakfast radio, perfect illustration of the issue!

That’s actually a point made by Hanson-Young at the Senate estimates. The ACMA chair refused to read out a transcript of the show saying she didn’t think it was suitable parliamentary content! Hanson-Young fired back and said “Do you think it’s suitable content for public broadcast at 6 - 10AM?”.

Kyle and Jackie O lately mentioning Brisbane for the weather forecast.

It’s like they’re so desperate now to get into the Brisbane market. If Robin & Kip does get replaced by Kyle and Jackie O, then this will be a sad time for Brisbane.

Craig Bruce sums this up perfectly in his podcast. K&J need to stop doing a networked show, but instead deliver a national show. One which appeals to all markets - not just a re-broadcast of their Sydney show.
It’s like broadcasting 9 News Sydney around the country. It just won’t work that way. The content needs to be tweaked.

That’s all well and good to say but what exactly is Sydney about the show anyway? It’s not like they discuss local events/ sports teams/ functions etc.
For all intents and purposes it is a national show already.
The thing is though Sydney is used to the smut and sex talk. They’ve been desensitized to it over the years. You can’t just plonk that crap into other markets that just don’t have that type of radio. If they think the reaction in Melbourne had been negative, wait till they start talking about pissing and women’s genitalia on air in Brisbane at breakfast.

Sorry, I thought they meant adapt as in remove localised references not the actual content.

Let’s not forget honouring the NSW public holidays, with VIC suffering by having no live show on that day.
And regardless of any sport talk, they have a former NRL star on the station, but no AFL star/expert/connection.

Who thought it was a good idea for Kyle and Jackie O to be doing ads during their podcast for coercive control? Talking about bullying and gaslighting and how it’s “not on”.
Um.

Inappropriate for parliament, but ok for breakfast radio? Says it all. Time the ACMA was held to account for their inaction.

I reckon Kyle and Jackie O will need to watch out.

The talent pipeline seems to be connected to the sewers.
