KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast show ratings dropped sharply after presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O exit in 2025. Their exit 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 year. Competitors like smoothfm in Sydney noted gains, while new breakfast crews captured audience share. The changes indicate Sydney listeners switching to rivals such as fresh talent winning morning fans.
