Something I meant to mention, and may well do elsewhere, is that despite their dominance of the Sydney FM radio breakfast market, Kyle and Jackie O, together or separately, haven't had sustained success in any other media vehicle. Their TV outings have mostly been failures.
Very astute predictions, Brett. Agree totally with your views on 4BC and the ABC ... BC is becoming "unlistenable" with it's boring, agenda-driven talkback hosts on the familiar Labor-bashing bandwagon incessantly.
The ABC (612) has never been worse in over 50 years of listening for me ... it has been dumbed-down totally. If they don't draft Ellen Fanning into a serious timeslot they are crazy ... her credibility and proven track record in serious current affairs is much needed. At least two of the female presenters need to be sent to pasture ... they are simply too gushy and lightweight. Actually, Brisbane radio is very ordinary across the AM and FM dials.
$200 million would buy a lot of broadcast radio - I can't see Kyle and Co lasting in Melbourne

Thanks Bernie. I agree that Ellen Fanning would add some heft to the ABC line-up.
