Lowie Live on KIIS is no more. Instead another hour of non stop hits from 5-6pm on Saturdays followed by kiis weekender now at the new time of 6pm.

Jase and PJ successfully completed their 12-hour tennis marathon tonight, with PJ declared the winner. The court was anchored on the Southbank side of Yarra River, close to the Southgate complex.

According to today’s Sunday Herald Sun, Jase and PJ have extended their contract with ARN, meaning the duo will stay at KIIS until the end of 2022.

Certainly not complaining about that! They’re my favourite breakfast duo in Melbourne.

This isn’t a ‘new’ story - the duo’s contract renewal was confirmed in June last year and reconfirmed in October when Radio Today inquired about it

I always read the Radio Today story as saying they were only locked in until the end of 2020 - and the rest of the article was about other breakfast shows… this new report seems to suggest another two years has been added now to Jase and pj

I haven’t anything more bizarre than this in a long time. It’s completely baffling why ARN are making out an 8 month old story as being a ‘new’ announcement

Free publicity.

Because, as already mentioned, neither of those articles confirm this renewal?
The Age piece from June last year simply outlines that they were on a three-year deal, thus not expiring until sometime in 2020. The Radio Today piece doesn’t mention Jase & PJ at all.
Why is this news? I suspect it has something to do with an announcement teased on the podcast last week that was supposed to be announced today. At a guess, PJ is heading back to New Zealand and doing the show remotely for a time. Better to get the good news out and dilute the negative press.

“ruining great radio”. I just listened to a portion of Sandilands rant and the beep was more pleasant to listen to.

Would love to hear some other opinions regarding how you guys think KIIS is sounding in Melbourne.
I used to listen to Fox for most shows other than breakfast, but now I’ve found myself listening to KIIS all the time.
As I’ve previously expressed, I have always listened to Jase and PJ and personally believe they’re the best breakfast team in Melbourne.
For the drive home I’d typically listen to Hughesy and Kate but the new duo with Ed just doesn’t seem to work personally, and I’ve now found myself listening to Will and Woody (while I don’t think they’re as good as Hughesy and Kate were, they are still enjoyable to listen to).
On weekends/throughout the day, again, I would listen to Fox, but the “10 in a row” KIIS has been doing every hour is fantastic with a good mix of new and older tunes, plus no ads either (probably the main draw card which got me listening).
Will be interesting to see the first ratings snapshot of the year in a few days and whether they have made any inroads on Fox (it was getting competitive for breakfast in the final ratings of last year but they were still far behind during the workday).

Is Fox doing 10 in a row on weekends? Nova969 was doing that recently.
