‘They are not acting like a national show’: Where it’s going wrong for Kyle and Jackie O in Melbourne
Kyle and Jackie O’s launch in Melbourne this year has not had the start many predicted – so where has it gone wrong?
Last week, after posting a disappointing 4.0% result in the Melbourne radio ratings, Kyle Sandilands blasted the local audience and blamed them for the powerhouse duo’s ratings, even taking a shot at now-NOVA pair Jase & Lauren, who were moved on from KIIS to make way for Kyle and Jackie O.
“I blame everyone in Melbourne,” Sandilands said.
“It is your fault, you are late to the party, you are pearl clutchers, you all love the sh*t show that used to be on here that we a***holed, after years of shit — a***holed them over to NOVA.”
It’s the junkiest of junk food entertainment.
Their contribution to society is to actively make it worse. Doesn’t even qualify as a guilty pleasure – it’s just no-substance dreck.
I put their success in other markets down to exclusive broadcasting deals and inertia in moving the dial. Otherwise, it’s baffling.
Everyone in Melbourne hates your obtuse, loud mouth persona.
Numbers dont lie!
