So if Lowie will be doing nights, what will happen with their other big new hire, Smallzy?
Smallzy will keep doing 7-9 (alongside 3-4), Lowie will be going after.
Remember, the original KIIS schedule release did not specify who does 9-whenever.
Iâd get Lowie covering for Kyle for all his days off and show they will air something else.
Leave Smallzy where he is.

So they should.
I think itâs more them realizing âwait, we havenât announced who does nights?â.
And so they pitched to Lowie and he went âyep, Iâd say thatâs a promotion for meâ.

ROBIN, KIP & COREY RETURNING IN 2026
Tuesday December 16, 2025 â After feedback from Brisbane listeners, ARN has announced that Robin, Kip & Corey will be returning to KIIS973 Breakfast in 2026.
The trioâs deep connection with Brisbane has been reinforced by strong audience engagement and recent survey results, with listeners making it clear how much they love starting their day with Robin, Kip & Corey. ARNâs priority remains delivering the shows audiences love, and todayâs announcement reflects that commitment to Brisbane listeners.
Robin Bailey said: âBrissy you did it! Thank you so much. We are coming back because of you and I canât tell you how grateful I am to be back behind the mic with Kip and Corey again on KIIS973. A reversal like this is a first and Iâm beyond excited for what it means for the Robin Kip & Corey show in 2026.â
Kip Wightman added: âHow good is people power?! No one gets behind a team like Brisbane! Canât wait to kick off 2026 back in the studio. I guess Iâll need to return all the office equipment I stole on the last day!â
Corey Oates shared: âWe love starting the day with you Brisbane. Thanks for sticking with us, weâre grateful to be part of your mornings. Weâve got exciting plans for 2026 and canât wait to be back with you from January 19.â
Robin, Kip & Corey are known for their warmth and relatable humour. Their on-air chemistry is matched by a strong commitment to the local community, supporting Brisbane causes and sharing stories that resonate with everyday listeners across the city. In 2026, audiences can expect even more, with new segments, special guests and interactive moments designed to celebrate Brisbaneâs unique spirit and keep mornings fresh, fun and engaging.
Derek âDBâ Bargwanna, Head of KIIS Network, said: âBrisbane listeners were clear about what they wanted, and we listened. Robin, Kip & Corey have a strong connection with this city, and the way things wrapped up meant the door was always open for us to reunite. Weâre thrilled to welcome them back to breakfast in 2026.â
As part of the refreshed KIIS973 lineup for 2026, Craig âLowieâ Low steps into an exciting new role, hosting a night show, Lowie Live, airing from 9pm-midnight across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
In 2026, KIIS evolves into a true five-city entertainment network, bringing its bold, fast-paced and celebrity-driven brand from east to west. Lowie Live will be a cornerstone of this transformation, creating a shared nightly destination for audiences nationwide and strengthening KIISâ national footprint.
Lowie isnât just a radio presenter; heâs a content creator. Youâll see and hear him across KIIS content platforms, bringing his trademark energy to audiences wherever they are. The show promises highâenergy entertainment each night, while giving Lowie a national platform to connect with listeners across multiple major markets.
Craig âLowieâ Low said: âIâm stoked that Brissy gets its favourite breakfast show back â and I canât wait to create and connect with listeners nationwide across nights on the KIIS Network.â
Both shows will launch on January 19, 2026, and can be heard live on KIIS973 or via the free iHeart app.

Well, they quit early. Letâs not forget that.
Their âfinalâ segment wasnât pretty either.
If they want to commit to that cause, they would dial back K&JO in Melbourne. (I think bringing back Hayley & Max is quite a long shot.)
And pigs will fly then.
Live AEDT/AEST only as the rest of the non-brekky lineup. Such a misnomer.

I think good slot for Lowie. Nights are more his vibe but I wouldnât have brought back Robin, Kip and Corey. What are they going to do when theyâre 5th again? Bad move.

My question is, with what money?
How are they affording K&JO, RKC, Smallzy, The Pick-UP, W&W and Lowie.
K&JO are already causing roles to drop left right and center

Thereâs only two possible ways: K&JO contract cutdown or heavy leverage. No in-between.
not happening
Why would K&J agree to a lesser deal in order to bring back Robin, Kip and Corey?
I donât see any compelling evidence linking the two.
Itâs more than likely purely a commercial decision based on clients more likely to advertise with RK&C than Lowie.

Will they be doing 6-10am like Lowie was announced to be doing?
