The highly anticipated return of Kyle Sandilands to the airwaves is almost upon us, and his manager, Bruno Bouchet, has revealed some exciting details about the former KIIS FM star's new venture. In a recent podcast appearance, Bouchet confirmed that Kyle Sandilands Live will launch on Monday, August 10, via Sandilands' upcoming app. This live breakfast show promises an uncensored, ad-free experience, featuring audio and video, and accepting video calls, adding a unique twist to traditional radio programming.
Bouchet described the show as a 'fair bit of fun', with a newsreader and music, similar to a standard radio show. However, the subscription model is a bit different, costing $99 annually with no monthly option available at launch. This move is part of a larger strategy, as Bouchet also mentioned the upcoming docuseries 'At Home with Kyle', which will premiere its first episode in late July. The show's launch is a significant step in Sandilands' post-termination journey, following his settlement with ARN for $12 million over the termination of his reported $100 million contract.
Bouchet, a close confidant of Sandilands, has been instrumental in shaping this new venture. He shared insights into Sandilands' emotional journey during the past four months, noting his remarkable ability to maintain composure despite the challenges. Bouchet emphasized Sandilands' matter-of-fact approach, which he found beneficial during legal discussions. This experience, according to Bouchet, has contributed to Sandilands' evolution as a broadcaster and personality, promising an intriguing and dynamic return to the airwaves.
The manager also hinted at the show's potential for 'crazy and outrageous' content, keeping viewers and listeners on the edge of their seats. The newsreader, a 'fantastic female talent', is set to join Sandilands, adding to the show's dynamic and chemistry. As Sandilands addresses the events since February 20, his on-air disagreement with former co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson, the show is poised to offer a fresh and engaging perspective on the radio landscape. With a subscription model and a unique format, Kyle Sandilands Live is set to be a game-changer, offering a blend of entertainment, uncensored content, and a platform for Sandilands' evolution as a media personality.
