Robin Bailey, Kip Wightman and Corey Oates from KIIS 97.3FM were axed from their breakfast show on Thursday October 23.

Brisbane’s Courier Mail reported: Station bosses say they will be replaced by local voices, but other radio insiders say it’s only a matter of time before Kyle and Jackie O are moved into the Brisbane market.

Despite the abrupt decision, the trio were performing solidly in the ratings, with their most recent GfK radio survey showing a 10 per cent breakfast share, well above the station’s overall average of 8.3.
