KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings slumped drastically 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 lowest-ever figure, falling behind the ABC’s Breakfast in the latest radio survey this year. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney recorded gains, while fresh breakfast teams captured audience share. The changes indicate Sydney listeners switching to rivals including fresh talent drawing early listeners.
