KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings declined sharply after presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O departure in 2025. Their departure followed a agreement 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 recently. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney logged growth, while new breakfast lineups won audience share. The shifts reflect Sydney listeners moving to rivals including fresh talent winning morning listeners.
