KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings declined sharply after presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O exit in 2025. Their exit followed a settlement of A$12m with ARN last month. In Melbourne, KIIS hit its lowest-ever figure, falling behind its ABC’s Breakfast in the latest radio survey this quarter. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney logged growth, while fresh breakfast lineups gained audience share. The shifts show Sydney listeners moving to rivals such as fresh talent attracting initial fans.
