KIIS FM have announced a complete overhaul of their programming, following the collapse of The Kyle and Jackie O Show in March.
The network shared a post on social media on Tuesday teasing a new era for the network, which has spent several months searching for hosts to replace Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
Next to an image of the silhouettes of various people, the network wrote: “A new era is coming.”
The network provided no further explanation as to what the changes were, leaving fans guessing.
Followers quickly took to the comments section to share their curiosity about the upcoming move.
“This is going to be interesting!” wrote network veteran Mitch Churi, who was fired in November 2024.

“I can’t wait to hear who it is,” another added.
It comes after Sandilands was dragged into ARN’s escalating legal war with his former radio partner Jackie ‘O’, after the media giant sent him a subpoena to obtain documents.
The 55-year-old shock jock was handed the papers live on air on his subscription show on Wednesday, in a stunning moment orchestrated by manager Bruno Bouchet.
Sandilands appeared surprised when Bouchet handed him the subpoena and a notice to produce documents.
“That makes me very uncomfortable,” the radio star said, before throwing the message in the trash.
“Just tell them I’m abroad or something. Is that what’s happening? How do you get out of here?’
The awkward altercation took a turn when newsreader Brooklyn Ross asked if ARN wanted Sandilands in his corner and against Henderson in the dispute.
“Yes,” Bouchet responded, confirming that the network was seeking documents from the radio star as part of its legal battle with his longtime co-host.

“Well, that makes me feel very uncomfortable,” Sandilands responded.
“I don’t feel comfortable saying anything that could affect what she’s doing.”
The development comes just a week after an emotional Sandilands revealed he was left in tears after learning Henderson had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
As Henderson battles her former employer in a lawsuit seeking $82 million in damages, her PTSD diagnosis is referenced in a medical report prepared by Dr. Jonathan Phillips.
‘This morning I woke up… I was devastated. I immediately burst into tears,” Sandilands told listeners.
“I just fell apart this morning.”
The radio king later expressed disbelief at the allegations in court documents, saying they bore little resemblance to his memory of the events and had left him deeply hurt.
‘It was really disturbing to read such terrible things about yourself. And it’s clearly her truth. But that goes against the reality of what happened,” he added.
“It’s very unfair, and it’s completely the opposite. It’s soul destroying. Really and truly. It’s very disturbing to me.’
Sandilands said the claims were unfair and contradicted his experience working with Henderson, who he described as unpredictable and inconsistent during their time on The Kyle & Jackie O Show.
Henderson’s mental health concerns were detailed in documents filed in Federal Court and released last week as part of her legal dispute with ARN following the cancellation of the Kyle & Jackie O Show earlier this year.
Dr. Phillips states that Henderson ‘suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from ‘the continued bullying perpetrated by Sandilands’ and ‘ARN’s failure to provide appropriate care and protection’.
In an affidavit, Henderson said she was “belittled” and “humiliated” by her “unpredictable and erratic” former KIIS FM co-host Sandilands.
Henderson’s KIIS FM contract was abruptly terminated in March following a high-profile row between her and Sandilands.
