KIIS Network

Meshel Laurie, Amy Gerard, Jana Hocking and Mike Christian.

Interesting mix of hosts.

Yes.

I thought Meshel Laurie was pissed off at KIIS for axing her brekkie show?

He did a very good job with the launch of LiSTNR and the suite of MMM and Hit extensions including R&B Fridays, Oldskool 90s / 80s and he would probably have had something to do with the development of Heart and Heart Hits before he left SCA?

Time and the promise of employment and money heals all wounds.

Also, Summer Slam? I would’ve gone “We’re Not Kyle and Jackie O”. At least if you’re calling yourself the Summer Slam, you better have some wrestling.

It’s only right that that is done. No one buys the “live and local” promise of the upcoming-but-now-canned show whatsoever.

Is there anyone left at ARN who knows what the hell they’re doing?

I’d argue there is at last because this was pretty sensible TBH.

Has ARN got the jitters about making Kyle and Jackie O national? Has management changed their minds or has the management changed?

Well, Lauren was made redundant.

But hang on, Lowie is now in national nights (presumably 9pm-midnight), so…

Two new content heads were appointed yesterday, though I don’t think we can count this change to them. https://radiotoday.com.au/kerri-elstub-and-dave-cameron-appointed-to-key-content-roles-at-arn/

The cleaners?

ARN’s news theme shouldbe Entry of the Gladiators. IYKYK.

I don’t know.

DC reversing the dumb changes and Lowie was an awful hire. CB right on the money for once.

Surely they need to rebrand 97.3 as Gold with this team and return the station to profitability with its distinct audience up there. Eventually network OC if need be but right now stabilise the ship and keep their audience.

Wouldn’t surprise me if you can. Suspect they’d have been some immediate diagnostics even if their feet aren’t under the desk yet

Circus music continues.
Good for us in Brisbane. Wonder what this means for Hayley & Max.
Also wonder if it’s too little too late, after the fanfare of them leaving have listeners already moved to Triple M/4BH/streaming/DAB+?

Whatever is ARN management smoking some days…
