Kyle and Jackie O finally confirm Melbourne start date: 'Very different'
Fans have been wondering for some time when the radio hosts would make the announcement.
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson have finally confirmed when they will launch in Melbourne after announcing they will also be broadcasting to the Victorian capital last year.
The pair, who host The Kyle and Jackie O Show on KIIS, revealed the rumours are true, and they will be launching in Melbourne on Monday, April 29.
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.
