The new addition to the line-up means the 97.3 FM show will now be called Robin & Kip now with Corey Oates in the morning . Oates is already a familiar face to sports fans, having played 12 seasons for the Brisbane Broncos and featured in nine State of Origin games for his home state since 2016. He announced his retirement in October, and since then, Bailey and Wightman had taken him under their wing on the show, launching the regular ‘Find Corey a Job’ segment to help him figure out his next move.

Along the way, he’d tried his hand as a stand-up comedian, retail sales assistant, counsellor, and traffic reporter, before he joined his colleagues in the studio this morning to reveal his new, more permanent role. Bailey called her newest co-host “honest, kind and real. He doesn’t lie nor does he filter which is brilliant to have on the show ... the over-sharing may not be great for his friends and family, but we can’t wait.” Corey, a husband and father of two, will remain on-air with Robin and Kip through the week before the trio return to the airwaves in January 2025. The announcement seemingly puts an end to speculation that Sydney breakfast hosts Kyle and Jackie O would continue their push into other cities in 2025. The duo’s long-running radio show launched in Melbourne earlier this year, with rumours rife that they’d continue to expand into other Australian capitals. Corey Oates before his recent retirement.

The KIIS announcement comes in a busy morning for Australian radio news, with fellow presenter Ali Clarke announcing on air today that she is stepping down as breakfast host on Mix 102.3, where she’s served for the past three years. “This year has given me a new perspective so now I’m ready for the next challenge. I’ll miss our listeners terribly and can’t thank them enough for their support of not just me, but my family. Man I love radio and will miss this incredibly hardworking local team, but I know they’ll keep bringing the laughs and will go from strength to strength,” Clarke said on-air today. Max Burford will continue as co-host of Mix 102.3’s Breakfast show in 2025, with further details regarding the show to be announced.
