I just fundamentally do not understand how Kyle could make nearly 100 million dollars for his employer. Where is he getting listenership and ads that could generate that kind of money in the RADIO INDUSTRY?
As I said before, somehow this is what crosses the line?
They should’ve been not only sacked, but blacklisted from the industry after they strapped a 14-year old girl into a lie detector and asked her questions about her sexual history, and then when she said she was raped, they just casually dismissed it by asking her if it was her first time
Good
Why now? Why not 20 years ago?
Frees him up to start a new show with Stefanovic. Kruisin’ with Karl and Kyle
Why are they paying that much in first place ? 🤔
Yeah I’ll chat shit for $100m
Now watch the inevitable move to the far right podcast grift.
Good! I don’t understand how he got away with the things he said as a radio ‘celeb’, a disgusting human being who did not deserve a place in the national psyche.
Netflix Standup Special soon.
The wild part of this story isn’t anything Kyle has actually done it’s that he’s paid 100m to do it.
What the fuck
How does radio have that much money to give 1 host. Holy crap.
He’ll be on 2GB by the end of the year.
What’s crazy to me was the Jase and Lauren show on KIIS was already a successful show and well liked. Kiis fired them without warning and replaced them for Kyle and jackie o to take their spot is insane
This whole thing feels like a fabrication. They tried to break into the melbourne market and it didn’t work, the station lost money. So instead of falling on their sword they made up an argument on air and now the station is cancelling his contract. Theyre not cancelling it for any moral reason, if they wanted to do that they would have done that years ago.
Jackie’s psychic/astrologist will be telling her to get back to work too now that the cash is turned off. Maybe she can work with Phil O’Neill again? Lol.
Melbourne was a key market and lucrative demographic for ARN and KIIS. He was rejected from the outset in that market. It was only a matter of time until Kyle’s behaviour gave justification and context to his termination.
How the actual fuck was he on $100,000,000 over 10 years anyway?
I can’t understand how this is still worthy of headlines. If enough people actually have a shit about this moron the station would fight to protect him.
Good. That loud mouth prick aint worth 10 cents.
That man is not worth $100m … in fact, he is such a waste of skin he should be paying us for existing.
Fuck ARN media for ever giving him the contract in the first place.
Just a friendly reminder that Kyle also owns H2Coco coconut water, and any purchases of this product will continue to fund his lucrative business prospects.
The fact that anyone thinks this idiot is worth that amount of money is hilarious!
You have to seriously question a society, and any complicit company, where a pos can earn $100M.
I wonder what his good mate Albanese has to say about it.
