The Kyle and Jackie O Show Melbourne launch date confirmed as hosts reveal surprising format change

The launch date for The Kyle and Jackie O Show’s Melbourne expansion has been confirmed.

Kyle Sandilands, 52, and Jackie O Henderson, 49, revealed their show will premiere in Melbourne on Monday April 29 at

‘What we want to put in Melbourne has never been done before. Even if you already hate Jackie, give me a chance,” Kyle joked.

‘We want to give you a very different type of show. I’m not saying the others are the worst shows, they’re not. They have been fantastic, but we offer something different.’

‘We stick to what we know. In terms of daily content, nothing is changing, we’re not going to dumb things down or pull back,” added Jackie.

‘We look forward to finally shipping to Melbourne. We are excited.’

The pair promised the show would become more ‘inclusive’ of Melbourne and include the city in its awards ceremonies, which were previously only for Sydney residents.

In November, the pair signed a record $200 million 10-year contract, which will see them on the air for the next decade and expand into Melbourne.

Kyle and Jackie recently moved into a state-of-the-art studio in Sydney as part of their $200 million deal.

The entire ARN office moved from North Ryde back to a city in Sydney last week.

The radio duo signed the record $200 million, 10-year deal live on air – keeping them on the airwaves until 2034.
