Despite all the big news over the past few weeks about Kyle and Jackie O, this survey won’t fully reflect that. The survey period runs from January 18th to February 28th, and the big on air fight that precipitated the show ending took place on February 20th, with the ARN release about Jackie O quitting coming out on March 3.

The next two survey results will be the real marker of how KIIS will perform in a post-KJ world.
