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.

It’s the little things

  • “Come and see the show, go to a book signing” 
 providing you’re in Sydney.
    -Replaying a feud with Ben Fordham while going on John Laws, identities that mean nothing to an FM Melbourne audience.

Sure, this is seperate to smut and overall tone (which is an issue in of itself) but at least try to bring those outside Sydney along.

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. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

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.

I just heard on KIIS 101.1 that K&J will be on the Today Show from 9:30am tomorrow morning
 switch your TVs to Seven or Ten

Considering they’re still on air on radio at 9:30am are we expecting the KIIS 973 announcement?

Nothing else was really mentioned on-air from Gordie apart from they’ll be on-air at 9:30am, but if their intention of this is announcing their expansion into Brisbane, then Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunny Coast residents are in for a rude shock.

And it’ll spell the end of KIIS 97.3 being No.1 in Brisbane as listeners turn off

It isn’t number one in Brisbane anyway and hasn’t been for a long time.

Then who’s No.1 in Brisbane?

B105 most of the time with Nova sneaking in there 1 or 2 times a year in recent history. Even Triple M has been up there too.

Hasn’t been KIIS/ 973 in a very long time.
