Show Notes
ARN finally pulls the trigger on the new KIIS 106.5 breakfast show - Dr Chris Brown, Amy Gerard and Jack Charles. We tackle the announcement from three different sides of the media business: content, sales and the media buyer’s perspective. What does the new line-up say about the direction of KIIS, and can this combination create the kind of live radio chemistry that Sydney has been used to?
And it's AFL Grand Final week - we’re looking at what the AFL’s biggest week means for the media - from audience and attention - to the huge commercial machine that builds up around the game.

More from Media Bubble
Carrie & Tommy's exit from Hit raises questions about the value of radio talent - and what happens when big names move on. Is Nine making a move on ARN? We unpack the rumours, the numbers and the commercial logic behind a potential deal, including what it could mean for Australian radio and the threat of global tech giants buying into local media. Plus, are digital creators replacing traditional radio talent for brands? If creators bring their own audiences, control their own platforms and offer brands a direct line to fans, what's left for radio personalities? And in Media Therapy, Ben and Pete go head-to-head on a question facing the entire industry: should advertisers keep more of their money in Australian media, or does every dollar have to earn its keep?
This week on Media Bubble, Reeney, Willie, & Whitey dig into the new Spotify and Joe Rogan licensing agreement and how Spotify recoups on the deal.

This week on Media Bubble, we get into the NRL Grand Final and the media circus around it - from the ratings battle with the AFL and that much-discussed 11-minute pre-game entertainment show, to advertising, sponsorship, gambling and Peter V’landys.
ARN has finally revealed the new breakfast team for Melbourne - Ash London, Isaac Smith and Elliot Garneau. Is this the more interesting of ARN’s two new breakfast bets?
Upfronts, the NFL in Melbourne and the Sydney Sweeney ad. Three big media stories, one big question: what actually gets our attention now?
