KIIS FM's Kyle & Jackie O End 25-Year Run

0:00On March 4th, here's the latest out of Sydney. The popular breakfast show on KIIS FM hosted by Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O'Henderson is ending after more than 25 years. Jackie recently gave notice that she cannot continue working with Kyle following an on-air argument where he criticized her interest in horoscopes during a chat about Prince Andrew, ARN, the station's owner, announced this to the stock exchange on Tuesday. They have taken Kyle off the air for two weeks to reconsider his position and fix a serious contract breach. Meanwhile, Jackie has been offered a new time slot. The duo built a huge following with their edgy banter, locking in teenage listeners and adults aged 25 to 54. They signed a record-breaking $200 million 10-year deal in 2023 and even drew politicians like Prime Minister Anthony, Albany's to Kyle's wedding. But troubles mounted lately, their expansion to Melbourne bound and an advertiser boycott hurt due to concerns over consent.

With more people turning to digital podcasts and personalized audio, the crude style that once earned them 50 stray ratings wins in Sydney, no. Longer flies. This split marks the end of a wild, radial era. This DNN story is thanks to our sponsor details in the description. Head in, sound on, lights out, that is the routine. To L.I.
