KIIS 97.3 sets up camp to support Brisbane through Cyclone Alfred
Reporter
As Cyclone Alfred approaches, Robin, Kip & Corey – along with the entire KIIS 97.3 team – set up camp at the station’s Milton studios last night, ensuring they remain on-air no matter how quickly conditions escalate.
Their priority: keeping Brisbane listeners both informed and entertained, especially those facing power outages and disruptions.
The trio will be broadcasting throughout the weekend.
Yesterday, Corey hit the streets to lend a helping hand, filling sandbags for local residents preparing for the storm.
KIIS 97.3’s coverage continues into the weekend, with Zach & Dom leading a local drive show tonight (Friday 7th) to maintain ongoing cyclone coverage.
There’ll be news updates every half hour through until at least tomorrow (Saturday) night, with Alana Riley and Jessica Kennedy reporting live from ARN’s Milton studios.
Hourly updates from the Traffic Network will provide the latest on road closures, fallen power lines, and tree damage.
Ongoing updates are available on KIIS 97.3 on-air, online, and across social media channels.
