After feedback from Brisbane listeners, ARN has announced that Robin, Kip & Corey will be returning to KIIS973 Breakfast in 2026.
The trio’s deep connection with Brisbane has been reinforced by strong audience engagement and recent survey results, with listeners making it clear how much they love starting their day with Robin, Kip & Corey. ARN’s priority remains delivering the shows audiences love, and today’s announcement reflects that commitment to Brisbane listeners.
Robin Bailey said: “Brissy you did it! Thank you so much. We are coming back because of you and I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be back behind the mic with Kip and Corey again on KIIS973. A reversal like this is a first and I’m beyond excited for what it means for the Robin Kip & Corey show in 2026.”
Kip Wightman added: “How good is people power?! No one gets behind a team like Brisbane! Can’t wait to kick off 2026 back in the studio. I guess I’ll need to return all the office equipment I stole on the last day!”
Corey Oates shared: “We love starting the day with you Brisbane. Thanks for sticking with us, we’re grateful to be part of your mornings. We’ve got exciting plans for 2026 and can’t wait to be back with you from January 19.”
Robin, Kip & Corey are known for their warmth and relatable humour. Their on-air chemistry is matched by a strong commitment to the local community, supporting Brisbane causes and sharing stories that resonate with everyday listeners across the city. In 2026, audiences can expect even more, with new segments, special guests and interactive moments designed to celebrate Brisbane’s unique spirit and keep mornings fresh, fun and engaging.
Derek ‘DB’ Bargwanna, Head of KIIS Network, said: “Brisbane listeners were clear about what they wanted, and we listened. Robin, Kip & Corey have a strong connection with this city, and the way things wrapped up meant the door was always open for us to reunite. We’re thrilled to welcome them back to breakfast in 2026.”
As part of the refreshed KIIS973 lineup for 2026, Craig “Lowie” Low steps into an exciting new role, hosting a night show, Lowie Live, airing from 9pm-midnight across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
In 2026, KIIS evolves into a true five-city entertainment network, bringing its bold, fast-paced and celebrity-driven brand from east to west. Lowie Live will be a cornerstone of this transformation, creating a shared nightly destination for audiences nationwide and strengthening KIIS’ national footprint.
Lowie isn’t just a radio presenter; he’s a content creator. You’ll see and hear him across KIIS content platforms, bringing his trademark energy to audiences wherever they are. The show promises high‑energy entertainment each night, while giving Lowie a national platform to connect with listeners across multiple major markets.
Craig “Lowie” Low said: “I’m stoked that Brissy gets its favourite breakfast show back – and I can’t wait to create and connect with listeners nationwide across nights on the KIIS Network.”
Both shows will launch on January 19, 2026, and can be heard live on KIIS973 or via the free iHeart app.
