I know from friends’ bitter experience, every year over 40 is a crashing curve of diminishing returns for IVF success and a rapidly increasing rate of sadness, frustration and conflict for each couple.

Yes very true

According to Radioinfo, there’s currently a series of TV ads for KIIS 1011’s Jase & PJ that targets on Fox & Nova listeners.

Not the best idea considering today’s survey results for KIIS vs. Nova & Fox.

KIIS 1065 in Sydney was celebrating their 5th birthday on Saturday at the Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel.

A bit odd they celebrated the name change two months late.

They might’ve had to postpone it due to the MAFS cast.

Find a different crowd of rent-a-nobodies in that case.

There’s a shockingly cheap TVC for 973 that’s begun airing.

I don’t have the equipment, @TV.Cynic, would you be able to upload? Was on evening FTA TV on a main channel, 7 or 9.

This one?

It’s the same as the KIIS one that ran earlier in the year in Sydney. Both are bad

Close to $14 000 + air time cost promoting it and all they get is a brief mention as an RVO during nightly news bulletins on the weeknight with the lowest audience numbers:

Barry and Duncan aren’t making very smart decisions of late.

Holy crap I just saw the 97.3 ad on the TV. I’m gobsmacked at how cringe worthy it is. I’ve seen better radio ads in the 1970s and 80s. It’s just about the crappiest and most amateurish thing I’ve ever seen!

It’s so generic, and that jingle is not only bad, it’s hard to understand.

I thought the Nova generic artist commercials that were ripped straight from Capital were pretty average but at least they had something to say/promote.

I think the 97.3 ad is about as effective as a Clive Palmer ad.

KIIS Sydney ad in the Royal Easter Show liftout.

Also, there is a picture of the showbag with Kyle’s undies. Not worth it.
