Kyle Sandilands says his popular Sydney-based radio show should air nationally… as he vows to take on TV breakfast shows Sunrise and Today

The Kyle & Jackie O Show is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most popular commercial radio acts.

But host Kyle Sandilands believes the show is so successful it could go up against TV breakfast shows Sunrise and Today.   

Speaking to news.com.au on Tuesday, the 49-year-old shock jock said: ‘Why wouldn’t you network this breakfast show?’

‘I think whoever is running the whole joint here mustn’t be the full quid if they don’t realise you’re paying a lot of money, the show’s clearly number one, way out in front of everyone else,’ he continued. 

‘We’d squash the Today show and Sunrise… Karl [Stefanovic]’s quaking in his boots right now. Karl’s actually said, “Please, please don’t start filming the show.”‘  

It wouldn’t be Kyle’s first foray into TV, having previously worked on shows like The X Factor.

Meanwhile, co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has most recently appeared on Channel 10’s The Masked Singer. 

Although there are no plans to do so at this stage, Kyle was also vocal about airing the Sydney-based show nationally. 

Despite having former colleagues and friends working on radio shows in other states, Kyle believes a nationally aired gig could be on the cards.

If it eventuates, his friend Jase Hawkins, who hosts the breakfast show on KIIS 101.1 in Melbourne, could lose his job. 

Kyle and Jackie first teamed up back in 2000, and 20 years later, their radio show is still going strong.  

‘You’d think after 20 years together we’d be sick of each other! But when you get to work with your best mate every day it’s not considered a job,’ Jackie, 45, told b&t magazine in November.
