New Headline: ARN Sells Everything That Is Not Bolted Down In Bid To Raise $200 000 000.00
In a bid to raise some of the $200M salary that is being paid to Kyle and Jackie O (as revenue at KIIS101.1 sinks), today ARN has offered signed photos of Yumi Stynes or Dr Andrew Rochford for only $25 each. It’s believed the photos were found in a storeroom that ARN are now renting out as a studio apartment in North Sydney.
Being at or near the top didn’t stop them from making changes in Sydney to WSFM at the start of the year.
Besides, it would help ARN to cut costs whilst at the same time maintaining a strong position in Perth.
Get rid of the FM in the title. Keep it consistent with Gold 101.7 and Gold 104.3.
They have 3 out of those 4, except it’s been CADA for a while now.
They don’t have the spare DAB capacity for an oldies network but if they were to lease some extra spectrum from somewhere, they could do worse than launch a Gold 70s extension, to take on Smooth Vintage, Triple M 70s and 2UE/Magic/4BH.
They don’t even have 3 of the 4 nationally though.
Brisbane only has KIIS and CADA. They haven’t even managed to launch Gold on DAB.
And no, they DO have DAB capacity if that’s what they wanted to do. Even in Brisbane, with only 1 terrestrial station (KIIS 97.3) they have 6x DAB stations on air:
KIIS
KIIS 80
KIIS 90s
CADA
iHeart Country
Tik Tok Trending
So they do have capacity even in Brisbane, if they chose to launch 4 distinct formats on DAB.
They have 7 - CW Remix is another, and Elf Radio over Christmas / New Year as a pop-up station, makes 8.
Does he even sit through codes training like everyone else?
KIIS line up for the next 2 weeks (SYD/MEL/BNE)
6-9am Kyle and Jackie O Best bits (SYD/MEL) / Robin and Kip (BNE)
9am-3pm Gordie
3-4pm The Pick Up
4-6pm Will and Woody best bits
6-7pm KJ Hour of Power
7pm KIIS Mix
Ummmm… who is 6-10am and workdays?
I love how Will & Woody never seem to get holidays.
Looks like its Petho for breakfast and Kat Markey for the workday
Including Brisbane when school returns (Robin & Kip w/ Corey Oates?)
The thing is that nothing will change with the media reporting of major court cases unless they start getting successful prosecutions for contempt.
So what happens to the regional sations taking will ans woody?
When the courts banned Cardinal Pell being named by the media during his court case in Victoria, The Age and news.com were both fined $400 000 for “inferring” he had been charged and breaking the suppression order. Prosecutions can happen.
Kyle may be lucky in that the jury in this recent case were sequestered so were less likely to have been influenced by Kyle’s moronic statement about the case. I would love it if ARN were fined for contempt. At this point in time they’ll need to hold a fete and sell cupcakes to raise money for the fine.
That would be great. If Kyle/ARN are prosecuted that would mean something positive has come out of the entire mushroom saga, which the media has hyperfocused on and turned into a morbid circus.
And it would also be brilliant news for the many Melbournians who cannot stand the filth that comes out of Kyle’s mouth on their radios each weekday morning. 
It was always bound to happen given the bile and filth that comes out of Kyle’s mouth daily and Jackie O having absolutely zero filters.
If they have ever heard it at all!
A big ask.
