The controversial Sydney radio hosts have debuted in Melbourne. Their first show was brash and explicit, but will it convert Melburnians into fans?
For over two decades, the show has been a staple of Sydney radio, regularly claiming record audiences and earning its hosts a spot in thein the breakfast slot with a 16.1 per cent share, up from 15.4 per cent in the first survey of the year.
“What will be the pull? If I were listening to a radio show, I’d want to listen to someone who’s actually talking about the city, especially if they’re making a big deal about coming to Melbourne. But I’m like, you’re not really, you just have a Melbourne producer”. However, he appreciates the rapport between its hosts and producers, applauding the fact that everyone seems to get their own time on the microphone while Sandilands and Jackie O steer the conversation.“We’re all adults, but it was quite inappropriate. It was an interesting way to start the show,” she says. “They’re happy to say anything they think of … Like them talking about one of the producers who had all these STIs.
Sandilands’ comments in particular concern Howard, given how often they revolve around explicitly crude humour, such as taking a photo of faeces in the toilet. “People already know that that’s what they’re like – they can be a bit controversial and offensive sometimes. So, people will choose to listen or not based on that. It won’t be that shocking.”breakfast radio hurricane hit Melbourne and tore through the city. No-one died, but the bleeper operator was busy. It was crass, rude, family-unfriendly, profane, abrasive – and weirdly compelling.
