Radio Host Robin Bailey's Emotional Exit After Show Axed
28 Nov
Summary
- Robin Bailey was visibly distressed leaving Brisbane studios after her show's early axing.
- The KIIS FM breakfast trio decided to end their show two weeks ahead of schedule.
- Co-hosts are launching a Brisbane Broncos podcast with NRL great Sam Thaiday.
Veteran radio host Robin Bailey was visibly emotional outside Brisbane studios, having been left devastated by the early axing of her KIIS FM breakfast show. She and her co-hosts, Kip Wightman and Corey Oates, decided to wrap up their program two weeks ahead of its originally scheduled December 12 finale. The surprise decision was shared via an Instagram clip, marking an earlier-than-expected end to their time on air.
This abrupt departure comes as Wightman and Oates have announced their next professional venture: a Brisbane Broncos-themed podcast. Set to launch in February 2026, the show will feature NRL great Sam Thaiday. The move to podcasting was humorously described by Kip Wightman as a 'natural step down' following their radio show's conclusion, with Corey Oates joking about not wanting his co-star to 'suffer alone.'
The axing of the popular trio has reportedly drawn criticism, with insiders describing their replacement as a 'poor man's Kyle Sandilands.' Despite the controversy, a spokesperson for ARN praised the departing hosts for their "hard work, creativity and commitment" to the Brisbane audience, promising their contributions would be celebrated.
