New producer for Kyle & Jackie O Show
Sarah McGilvray is to step down from the executive producer role on Australia’s biggest commercial radio program, The Kyle & Jackie O Show, after two years at the helm.
She will be replaced by Gemma O’Neill – a former assistant to movie star Nicole Kidman – in the new role of breakfast content manager.
O’Neill is relocating from LA, where she has spent the last six years working as Kidman’s executive assistant and a creative executive for Kidman’s production company, Blossom Films.
Previously she produced 2Day FM’s ‘The Morning Crew’ with Wendy Harmer and Peter Moon before relocating to London to produce Jono Coleman’s breakfast show on Heart FM.
Producer Simon Greally has been promoted into the role of senior producer. Matt Simpson remains entertainment producer on the show and Bruno Bouchet recently joined as talent producer.
The show on Austereo’s 2day FM is Sydney’s top rated FM breakfast show , while it is also syndicated across the Today network as The Hour of Power from 6pm on weekdays.
Mumbrella understands that McGilvray will take a break before her next role.
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large.

I have seen Miss Sarah McGilvray on the job and she will be a real loss to the show. She was an exceptionally smart, hard working and professional EP. She will definitely succeed in whatever she pursues because people want to work for her. We can only hope that maybe this Gemma O’Neill, can be as positive an influence in this potentially pretentious environment.
Thank you Sarah. You are a truly talented and kind soul. You will be missed.
