Down Under Radio: Kyle & JackieO Ink Huge Contracts

They are the top rating FM breakfast radio show in the most competitive metro market - Sydney.
So, it's no surprise Australian Radio Network (ARN) have pulled out all the stops to retain Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, with the pair reportedly inking a five-year deal worth over $30 million.

According to The Daily Mail, the duo negotiated their new contracts separately for the very first time since their breakfast show began in 2005, with Jackie admitting she's happier with how it's all turned out, saying: 'I am extremely happy with the deal I got this time which is what I feel like I'm really worth'.


Jackie admitted she doesn't know and doesn't want to know what deal Kyle has negotiated, and the shock jock refused to comment on the new contract.

The pair are set to earn $2.2 million a year, which could rise to $3.6 million a year thanks to ratings-based bonus incentives.

This means, each of them could earn around $16 million each over five years, taking the total value of their new contract over the $30 million mark.



The Kyle & Jackie O duo are credited with turning around KIIS 106.5 FM when they moved across from 2DAY FM in 2014.
