it appears KIIS1065 has already dumped the KIIStory 60 minutes after Kyle and Jackie O.

KIIS announcers on weekends were usually on rotation but i noticed lately it happened only on saturdays and sundays only Missy doing 10am-4pm on Sundays. I guess she’s back permanently on weekends.

KIIS, The Edge and Sony Music have joined forces to launch The Living Room concert series, featuring artists like Amy Shark, Guy Sebastian and Samantha Jade. The first concert is this Sunday, June 21 with Sam Fischer.

Like the show on 10.

thesub1 · June 17, 2020, 2:05am

There’s a billion other names they could’ve called it. Surely.

Roman_Paolo_De_Manza · June 17, 2020, 5:57am

The first one on sunday will be hosted by Kyle.

JohnsonTV · June 17, 2020, 11:29am

Speaking of Kyle:

thesub1 · June 20, 2020, 10:07am

Anyone else noticed Will & Woody now only for 1hr weekdays 5-6pm on 96FM?

I’d say the reason for this is so that the show can be live to Perth. Does that mean no mentions of any local station branding on the show? (I think they used to mention KIIS during some local breaks at times).

AustralianAerial · June 20, 2020, 11:24am

I won’t say too much, but there’s a reason the 96 schedule has changed several times over recent months. Dropping Will & Woody previously wasn’t just an error on the website.

thesub1 · June 20, 2020, 11:57am

Do tell more!

FineTuned · June 21, 2020, 12:47am

Hopefully they’ll drop W&W and K&JO, pull in the Jonesy and Amanda best of show, and rebrand as a Pure Gold station.

TVHead · June 21, 2020, 1:16am

Even go 100% local and unique identity

AustralianAerial · June 21, 2020, 3:10am

You don’t hire Gary Roberts just to have Sydney tell him what to do, I’ll say that.

thesub1 · June 21, 2020, 4:49am

So you’re saying ARN dropped W&W from 96 and Gary brought them back?

If that’s so, I would’ve let them go. Bringing them back for a live hour is better than pre-record, but then why drop them in the first place?

AustralianAerial · June 21, 2020, 5:32am

Other way around.

W&W was dumped totally in Perth because it didn’t fit the station sound, plus 96 now has three local jocks in weekdays. W&W was brought back 4-6pm, then the O’Connell hour was added, leaving both Russell Clarke and Kendall Crake with two hour shifts (2-4 and 8-10 respectively).

Network drive is now reduced to just the 5pm hour, while retaining Kyle & Jackie at 6 and O’Connell at 7. I suspect W&W was reinstated because of national sales packages having been sold for 5 markets rather than 4, but then there’s that recent contract extension too at play. I also don’t think it’s a live hour, happy to be corrected though.

FineTuned · June 21, 2020, 8:40am

They should have the following…
6-9am - Botica’s Bunch
9-1pm - Mark Pascoe
1-5pm - Russell Clarke
5-6pm - Jonesy & Amanda
6-7pm - Christian O’Connell
7-10pm - Kendall Crake (Requests)
Rebrand as a Pure Gold station and put KIIS Perth on digital.

NDY · June 21, 2020, 9:53am

I’m thinking the same thing. W&W air 4-6pm in the eastern states, which is 2-4pm On WA time, and 1-3pm WA during daylight savings.

Also, Macca is doing 1-5pm temporarily, with Russell Clarke covering breakfast.

OnAir · June 23, 2020, 5:47pm

A post was merged into an existing topic: Radio History

Roman_Paolo_De_Manza · June 25, 2020, 10:35am

Kyle and Jackie O will be on holidays from Monday. Gordie will be on holidays as well for 1 week so looks like it will be Mitch and Missy filling in their spots.

TV-Expert · June 26, 2020, 12:28am

This week, 96fm’s Mark ‘Smiley’ Pascoe celebrated 30 years on Perth radio.
