Jonesy & Amanda: We’re breathing down Kyle’s neck in the ratings because he’s got to play it safe now (and we’re smarter)
Sydney radio duo Jonesy & Amanda have predicted they may take the ratings crown from 2Day FM’s Kyle & Jackie O thanks to the controversial pair being forced to play it safe as a result of restrictions imposed by the media watchdog.
In a video interview with Mumbrella, Amanda Keller and Brendan Jones – who now follow Kyle & Jackie O by less than one ratings point – said that they could overhaul them. The next set of radio ratings is due to be released tomorrow.
Earlier this year the Australian Communications and Media Authority imposed an additional licence condition on 2Day FM as a result of on air comments made by Kyle Sandilands about a News Limited journalist who he described as “a piece of shit”.
In the most recent ratings, Jonesy and Aamnda put on 0.7 ratings points, moving them up to a share of 9.7%, just behind 2Day FM’s 10.5%. Both FM shows are still some way behind 2GB’s talk radio host Alan Jones who has a share of 18.5%.
Insane to think a Classic Hits breakfast show can rate as well as Sydney’s top brekafast show on the best top40 hits station… especially with the high profiles of Kyle & JackieO….. It’s Madness!
A magnificent team! Gotta love ’em.
love Jonesy and Amanda
One Kyle to rule them all!
They are the best to work with. Well done to them.
