Robin, Kip and Corey: Determined to go out on a high

Just days after the axe came down on their KIIS 97.3 Brisbane Breakfast show, Robin Bailey, Kip Wightman and Corey Oates this morning addressed on-air what they jokingly referred to as ‘the elephant in the room.’

What happens now? And who’s taking over?

Robin, who has a book coming out soon, broke down in tears as she said “This is probably it for me. I don’t think I’ll get another radio contract and that’s heartbreaking because I love this business.”

“And I really love you guys. Having done this for so long … this show had a bloody good chance. And I know that.”

“Kind of scary to think I don’t know how to make money, but I’ve just got to believe that something will happen, something good.”

Corey said he’d wait and see what comes along.

“I reckon you’ll be picked up somewhere in the media,” Robin told him.

Kip joked he’d perhaps learn a trade.

“A lot of people [are] wondering what’s happening next year,” Kip said.

“We don’t know. We’ve been told that it’s not Kyle and Jackie O coming in next year. I guess we’ll all find out next year, or maybe you won’t listen ever again, which is fine by us.”

The trio are now focused on finishing the year on a high.

“It would be a great kick in the nuts if we could finish on No.1,”Kip said.

In an Instagram post yesterday, Robin said our industry cared more about money than connection.
