KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings dropped significantly after presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O departure in 2025. Their exit followed a settlement of A$12m with ARN recently. In Melbourne, KIIS hit its rock-bottom figure, falling behind its ABC’s Breakfast in the latest radio survey this quarter. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney logged gains, while fresh breakfast crews gained audience share. The changes indicate Sydney listeners switching to rivals including fresh talent attracting morning fans.
