The latest radio ratings reveal a decline for KIIS FM following the departure of popular duo Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson. This marks the first full survey period without the pair, and the results indicate a significant impact on the station’s listenership. ARN, the network’s owner, is facing challenges as a result of the change. Conversely, Gold FM experienced positive gains in the same ratings period, suggesting a potential shift in audience preference. The extent of the long-term impact on KIIS FM remains to be seen, but the initial data points to a difficult transition. Industry analysts are closely watching how ARN will address the ratings slump and rebuild its audience share. Gold FM’s success offers a contrasting narrative of audience engagement and growth.
