KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings slumped significantly after presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O departure in 2025. Their departure followed a deal of A$12m with ARN last month. In Melbourne, KIIS hit its worst figure, falling behind the ABC’s Breakfast in the latest radio survey this quarter. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney noted gains, while fresh breakfast lineups gained audience share. The trends indicate Sydney listeners switching to rivals such as fresh talent attracting early listeners.
