KIIS Network

He seems to be making enough money from those god-awful You-i insurance ads that he’s in :face_vomiting:

I hear Geoscience Australia reports that the periodical oscillating movement from Ron E Sparks’ coffin has ceased.

Is Smallzy doing
6-9am in Sydney
3-4pm & 7-9pm Nationally

Surely in the interim they could drop the 3-4pm show or have Lowie take over nights until they sort Sydney breakfast

They are just SO bad. I can’t believe they even go to air.

At least that god-awful arrangement will only last 2 weeks. And then who knows what happens after that.

They cant drop the 3pm show because it is national show.

I’m sure most of the content is recorded earlier in the day.

I don’t think radio cares about stuff like that anymore. I often hear weekday announcers VT-ing on the weekends.

So far Smallzy is live on Breakfast and 3pm. His 7pm is recorded.

Or Myf Warhurst and Peter Hellier. I was a long time MMM listener and I thought they would be fantastic together but for the first time ever I had to change stations.

Give the bloke a chance to actually succeed after being used as a pawn in Brisbane in a crystal clear attempt to get K&J networked there when the ratings would inevitably plummet to a 5 share. I feel really sorry for how Craig has been treated by ARN, you set this poor dude up for a huge gig after over a decade of not being on air, then cuck him into a 9-12pm slot..

Are you saying they are both king shits?

Karl seems very keen to get away from the structured confines of TV

Doing breakfast radio is totally different from hosting his own podcast.

It’s 2026, not 1996.

Do Melbournians prefer up tempo, newer music, or 80s , 90s and now. That’s the big question.

What works in Brisbane and Adelaide might not necessarily work in Melbourne, as there are at least 2 80s, 90s and now formats in Priceline Radio and CW Remix as well as 5 easy listening formats in Smooth, Smooth Relax, 3MP, Heart and Light Mix.

I don’t think the Adelaide/Brisbane playlist is quite as different as you think (ie. There isn’t much 80s and there’s still a heavy focus on new music). It’s still very much Hot AC, not AC. What it does offer though is a slightly differentiated format than a carbon copy of Nova and Hit.

This is a chance for ARN to reset KIIS to a Hot AC network and not a wannabe CHR clone.

For what it’s worth I don’t even think they’ve got the Adelaide/Brisbane music right either. If I was them I would copy the MY FM (Los Angeles) playlist in Sydney and Melbourne. Soften the Brisbane/Adelaide one even further during the day and in local shifts and have a single (MY FM) log ar night.

To me the MY FM playlist is what Hot AC stations should be playing
