Speaking to Melbourne-based radio host Byron Cooke on KIIS 101.1, Kyle said, "Let me just warn everyone. It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard and what the newspaper or this person or some other radio station says, we’re not here to change your mind."

He continued, referencing former KIIS 101.1 hosts Jase Hawkins and Lauren Philips, "We’re just going to give you a very different type of radio show. I’m not saying the other ones are the worst shows in the world because they’re not. They’ve been great, but we just offer something different.
