PETER VAN ONSELEN: Inside the downfall of the ABC’s flagship show

10 October 2024 So after losing nearly 50 percent of the Radio National breakfast show audience that listened to Fran Kelly for many years, her replacement Patricia Karvelas is leaving after just three years in the chair.

UP Man Sets Guinness World Record With A Collection Of 1,257 Radios

7 October 2024 New Delhi: When was the last time you tuned into a radio station and sat through a series of advertisements only to listen to your favourite song or show? In the world of Spotify, YouTube, and other digital music services, the good old radio has become ancient. But Ram Singh Boudh, a resident of Gajraula in Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh, is guarding the humble radio. His collection of over 1,000 radios has secured him a position in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Mr Boudh has radios from the 1920s to 2010, purchased from various markets of the country, including Delhi and Meerut. He has 1,400 radios but as per the guidelines of the Guinness World Records, all radios should be unique. The duplicates were removed from the list. With 1,257 radios, Mr Boudh broke the previous record of M Prakash, who had a collection of 625 radios.

Kyle Sandilands unleashes in on-air temper tantrum post KIIS FM ratings flop (subscription required)

6 October 2024 Horror radio ratings have triggered a Kyle Sandilands tantrum with the KIIS FM breakfast host lashing out at Melburnians describing them as “pearl clutchers” who love “the shitshow” that “we a—holed.”

Meanwhile, ARN, the parent company of KIIS FM, has revealed that The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Sandilands radio vehicle, will clean up its act and stop spewing out endless graphic sexual content in an effort to “change the perception” of the program.

It might however take longer than management think to change perceptions in Melbourne where the show has been slammed for months for being crass, grubby, profane and obscene while ratings have sunk.
