As you prepare to go back to work or uni or whatever it is you’re doing tomorrow, you may or may not sit down to reevaluate some of your career choices when you hear about Kyle and Jackie O‘s latest salary bump.
The duo recently negotiated new contracts with the Australian Radio Network, and News Corp report that they will take home an eye-watering $5 million each per year, for the next five years, depending on how the ratings go.
Much like the underground river of slime in Ghostbusters II, the KIIS FM duo only grow more powerful the more negative energy they attract, and they currently have the highest-rated FM breakfast show, commanding a 10.4% audience share.
Kyle & Jackie O left their former home of 2Day FM in 2013, and while it was rumoured earlier this year that the station might try to lure them back, Sandilands squashed the speculation.
In a statement released overnight, he said:
“There was never a doubt in my mind KIIS was our home for the long haul, because I made it! It’s my baby. Jackie and I are still doing what we love and doing it better than ever.”
Strap in, folks, it looks like breakfast radio is in for many, many more years of these two.
