Kyle Sandilands slams his ‘vanilla’ KIIS FM breakfast replacements and show’s ‘woke’ makeover after Chris Brown was announced as new host

Kyle Sandilands is unimpressed by the people hired to replace him on KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast slot. It was confirmed this week that Dr Chris Brown, KIIS regular Amy Gerard and Nova’s Jack Charles will be getting their own morning show, following the axing of The Kyle and Jackie O Show in March.But ARN’s plans for the new program are too ‘woke’ and ‘boring’ for former host Sandilands. The shock jock slammed the announcement on his subscription-only Kyle Sandilands Live show on Tuesday, calling television vet Chris Brown ‘vanilla’. ‘That, to me, equals boring as bats**t radio,’ he said.  ‘You used to have the biggest radio brand. Now, you would arguably say you’re one of the worst,’ he added, addressing ARN.  Kyle Sandilands (pictured) is unimpressed by the people hired to replace him on KIIS FM’s Sydney breakfast slot It was confirmed this week that Dr Chris Brown , KIIS regular Amy Gerard and Nova’s Jack Charles will be getting their own morning show, following the axing of The Kyle and Jackie O Show in March.

It’s the wokest purple,’ he said. The radio host did have some kinder parting words for the new hosts.  ‘Good luck to them, I hope they do their very best, because it’s not an easy gig,’ he said.The rebooted team begins broadcasting on KIIS FM on Monday, November 9. Dr Chris shared his excitement about the new role in a statement: ‘Waking up with the city I love and bringing a huge dose of real life, warmth and (hopefully) humour is truly a dream come true. ‘This show will be all about sharing our mornings, some laughs and maybe a few secrets together. I can’t wait. Plus, these hours are also a great way to beat the Bondi Road traffic. It’s a win-win.’ The shock jock slammed the announcement on his subscription-only Kyle Sandilands Live show on Tuesday, calling television vet Chris Brown ‘vanilla’Meanwhile, Gerard – who had been filling in as breakfast co-host opposite Mike E as the network searched for a permanent replacement – said the appointment was a real ‘pinch yourself’ moment.’I’m genuinely pinching myself that I get to be part of this show. The chemistry between Chris, Jack and I already feels so natural, it’s fun, unpredictable,’ she began.’There’s a very good chance we’ll be completely unhinged before most people have had their first coffee. I cannot wait to wake up with Sydney every morning.’They will be joined by Kyle And Jackie O veteran producer Natalie Penfold, who will help steer the discussions and ensure the show remains exciting and upbeat. Listeners can expect the station’s trademark mixture of talkback, cheeky banter, topical discussions and popular music.’Chris, Amy and Jack each bring a completely different perspective, and together they’ve created something that feels natural, relatable and full of personality,’ ARN Chief Content Officer Kerri Elstub said in a statement.’Breakfast radio is about being part of your audience’s daily routine. We wanted a show that feels fresh, fun and unmistakably Sydney, while still delivering the big entertainment moments KIIS is known for.’
