“KIIS 101.1 will be a new station built specifically for Melbourne listeners with an exciting new breakfast show hosted by Matt and Jane. They will make for a dynamic and entertaining combination with a passion for the city set against the backdrop of a new energetic station.”
Nic McClure: The New EP for Kyle & Jackie O
With Simon Greally leaving at the end of the year, ARN have announced that Nic McClure will be working with Kyle & Jackie O in 2015 as Executive Producer.
Nic was EP for Rosso's Drive show on Sydney's KIIS 1065 and Melbourne's Mix 101.1.

Simon Greally has been with K&J off and on for five years. He re-joined them back in 2013 while they were still at 2Day and moved with the team when they joined ARN.
