Thursday 29 September 2022 11:14 PM Kyle Sandilands' extraordinary spray at radio bosses after his ratings triumph trends now
A furious Kyle Sandilands unleashed on his own radio station in an eight-minute rant on Thursday after what he perceived as a snub by the company's publicity team.
Sandilands, 51, was angry over the lack of press coverage of The Kyle and Jackie O Show's historic ratings triumph this week, which saw the KIIS 106.5 breakfast program record its biggest-ever audience in Sydney.
Media outlets glossed over this fact and instead focused on 2GB host Ben Fordham's market-leading audience share. This is because radio ratings are typically reported in terms of percentage share rather than overall audience numbers.

Sandilands said the PR department at KIIS FM's parent company ARN should have fired off a press release emphasising his show's ratings milestone, labelling them 'losers', 'flops' and 'absolute a**eholes' for the apparent oversight.
He took aim at an external public relations company hired by ARN to handle media relations, but Daily Mail Australia understands PR for survey results is actually handled internally by ARN.
Furthermore, The Kyle and Jackie O Show's ratings milestone was in fact highlighted in a press release put out by ARN after the latest GfK ratings survey.
The release included survey highlights for other ARN stations, including WSFM.

'I am sick and tired of working here,' Sandilands snapped live on air.
'Everyone is a loser, except for everyone on this show. Everyone else outside of this show is a massive loser. I am not joking.'
He added: 'They have got no idea. This whole station couldn't pull a root in a brothel with a wheelbarrow full of money and a grin. They wouldn't know, they wouldn't get laid. They are too dumb. Imbeciles.
'I am sick and tired of this joint hiring idiots to run things and then it takes them a year to find out that guy is a d**khead and he should be fired. Get rid of the flops. I should be running this whole joint.'
