KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings slumped significantly after presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O exit in 2025. Their leave followed a deal of A$12m with ARN recently. In Melbourne, KIIS hit its rock-bottom figure, falling behind the ABC’s Breakfast in the latest radio survey this year. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney logged growth, while fresh breakfast lineups captured audience share. The shifts reflect Sydney listeners switching to rivals such as fresh talent attracting early listeners.
