Mitch Churi has emotionally announced on air this afternoon that he is leaving ARN and the KIIS Network programs THE PICK UP and The Night Show that he is part of. He has said that the decision was not his but a cost one made by the network.

An ARN spokesperson said:

“As part of our review of network shows for 2025, Mitch Churi will be departing ARN, with his final day on KIIS being December 13. Mitch has been a cherished member of the ARN family, bringing his unique energy, humour, and talent to our network.

We are incredibly grateful for Mitch’s dedication and the joy he’s shared with listeners and team members alike. While this marks the end of one chapter, we know Mitch’s incredible talent and passion will lead to exciting opportunities ahead.

We wish him nothing but success and happiness in his next adventure.”

Mitch has been with ARN a decade, starting out making coffees for Kyle and Jackie O. His PICK UP co-hosts Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne, who also present the ACRA winning Life Uncut podcast look like they are staying with ARN and on radio.
