Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson will go head-to-head at Australian Commercial Radio Awards 

They’ve been partners on air for more than two decades. 

But KIIS FM radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson are about to go head-to-head at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards.

The breakfast duo have each been nominated in the Best Entertainment Presenter category. 

Friendly competition! KIIS FM radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson are about to go head-to-head at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards. The breakfast duo have each been nominated in the Best Entertainment Presenter category

They’re also up against NovaFM’s Tim Blackwell, Triple M’s Lawrence Mooney and 2 Day FM’s Carrie Bickmore.

Whether either one of them takes home the gong is still a mystery, however it is just another bit of icing on the cake for the Kyle and Jackie O Show stars.

The two have also been nominated for awards in an impressive eight other categories — including best radio show podcast and best community service project. 

Their incredible nominations come after the pair’s radio show dethroned 2GB’s Ben Fordham to become Sydney’s most popular breakfast radio show across both AM and FM bandwidths in July.

Kyle and Jackie’s historic victory saw them claim the No. 1 position in both markets for the first time – which comes as Fordham’s ratings continue to slide after he replaced talkback king Alan Jones as host of 2GB breakfast last year.

It marks another successful survey for the co-hosts who in June took out their nineteenth consecutive FM top spot with a 12.9 per cent audience share.

The pair have grown their audience by 2.6 points to an unprecedented 15.5 per cent share – their highest ever.

The latest ratings also mark their 20th consecutive No. 1 spot on the FM bandwidth.

Fordham, 44, dropped to a 13.3 per cent share, while ABC Radio’s Wendy Harmer and Robbie Buck are snapping at his heels at 11.9 per cent.

He had recorded a 13.5 per cent share in the last radio survey.

Kyle and Jackie O, who were on holiday when they reached the number one spot, thanked their listeners on Instagram at the time, writing: ‘Thanks for making us #1 breakfast in Sydney! We’re back live Monday at 6am! Can’t wait to celebrate with you all!’

ARN’s Chief Content Officer Duncan Campbell said the company ‘couldn’t be prouder’ of its flagship breakfast duo.

‘Kyle and Jackie O are world-class operators and the show’s ongoing relevance in an ever-changing market shows their strength of connection with the people of Sydney,’ Mr Campbell said.

In June, Jake Challenor, the publisher of Radio Today, revealed Kyle and Jackie are paid $5million a year each to host Sydney’s top-rated breakfast show.

While they easily have the most generous pay packet, there are plenty of other anchors who command seven-figure salaries.

Mr Challenor said the likes of Marty Sheargold, Amanda Keller, Dave Hughes, Ray Hadley, Neil Mitchell, Fifi Box, Sam Pang and Mick Molloy all earn ‘in the millions’.
