ARN spent last night at the Hordern Pavilion selling advertisers on tennis, travel, and AI-voiced traffic reports. By this morning, a caller named ‘Ko’ dropped his own pitch to Kyle Sandilands Live.
“I need you to just, everyone else, plug your ears,” he said. “I got a secret website for you.”
Then he whispered it: kiis1065 dot com.
That’s not the .com.au address, which belongs to ARN. Leave off the last three characters, and www.kiis1065.com takes you to a site about procreating goats. The videos on offer include ‘Big Billy BANGS Busty Babe’ and ‘Two goats, one haystack’.
“Some of the links, some of the links are a trap,” the caller warned. “So careful with some of the links.”
Newsreader Brooklyn Ross then asked: “Don’t we still have some sort of business relationship with [them]?”
Show director Bruno Bouchet stepped in with some live legal triage: “We have a business relationship with kiis1065.com.au. And also in terms of non-disparagement, um, well, that’s not, that’s not their website. That’s Ko’s website.”

How Kyle and KIIS parted ways
ARN pulled the plug on The Kyle & Jackie O Show, reportedly a $200m, 10-year deal, after an on-air incident on 20 February. The final episode aired on 3 March. Sandilands settled in June for $12.9m. Before any of that, brand-safety concerns around the show had already cost ARN $26.4m in metro and regional revenue in FY25.
So the network built its 2027 Upfront to show that nothing hangs on a breakfast host any more. Dr Chris Brown, Amy Gerard and Jack Charles took over KIIS Sydney breakfast on 9 November, and the rest of the night went on a five-year Australian Open deal, KIIStravel.com.au and AI that writes 3,000 traffic bulletins a week.
ARN can automate the traffic, sell holidays and book the tennis. What it apparently didn’t book was every version of its own URL.
