ARN has announced broadcaster and podcaster Mike E<\/strong> will continue with the network in a new on-air content role following his successful run on KIIS Breakfast throughout 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike will kick off the next chapter by hosting KIIS Summer Drive, before taking on a broader on-air content role across KIIS and GOLD, where he\u2019ll be heard throughout 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the new agreement, Mike\u2019s independently created podcast, Behind the Mic with Mike E<\/em>, will officially join ARN\u2019s iHeart. Launched in 2026, Behind the Mic<\/em> has featured some of Australia\u2019s best known broadcasters, podcasters and media personalities, with Season 1 generating more than three million video views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the new partnership, iHeart will support the next phase of the show across audio, video and social, including distribution, promotion and commercial representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike E said: \u201cI\u2019ve had an absolute ball filling in on KIIS Breakfast this year. It\u2019s been one of the wildest and most exciting periods of my career, so I\u2019m really happy to be staying with ARN and moving into a new role across the network. I\u2019ll be kicking things off on KIIS Summer Drive, which I\u2019m really looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m also incredibly proud that Behind the Mic is joining iHeart. We built Season 1 independently and the response has been amazing, particularly across video and social. To now have the support of iHeart behind the show and help grow it further feels like a really exciting next step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerri Elstub, ARN Chief Content Officer<\/strong>, added: \u201cMike has been a fantastic and invaluable part of KIIS this year and we\u2019re thrilled he\u2019ll continue with ARN in a new role across the network. He\u2019s a talented broadcaster with a genuine passion for content and a great ability to connect with audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also excited to welcome Behind the Mic<\/em> to iHeart. Mike has built something with real momentum, and we\u2019re looking forward to helping grow the podcast across audio, video and social while expanding its reach to even more listeners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
