Kyle Sandilands has signalled that his next move is already taking shape, teasing a new project in a video to fans while his high-profile legal battle with KIIS FM’s parent company continues.

The veteran Australian radio host told supporters that “all will be revealed soon,” adding that he hoped to come back “bigger than ever” after weeks of public fallout surrounding his shock removal from the airwaves.

Sandilands hints at a fresh media comeback

In the video, Sandilands joked that it was “a surprise” he still had fans before thanking viewers for standing by him. He did not reveal whether the project would be a podcast, streaming show, radio return or another format, but the message quickly sparked speculation among fans.

The timing adds another layer to one of Australia’s most closely watched media disputes. Sandilands has been fighting to return to radio after being taken off air, with attention now focused on his long-term contract and the future of his partnership with Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.

The dispute centres on a reported 10-year, $100 million contract with Australian Radio Network, the company behind KIIS FM. Sandilands has previously said he wants to fulfil the remaining years of the deal and return to broadcasting.

Fallout with Jackie O remains at the centre of the dispute

The controversy followed a tense on-air exchange between Sandilands and Henderson during The Kyle & Jackie O Show, ending one of Australian radio’s most recognisable partnerships after more than two decades.

Henderson later stepped away from the show, with the dispute widening into legal action and competing claims around the breakdown of the program. For readers following the earlier development, Swikblog has more background on Jackie O quitting the KIIS breakfast show after the ARN and Kyle Sandilands fallout.

Sandilands has continued to appear publicly during the legal proceedings and has argued that putting him back on air would help the network recover momentum.

The latest video suggests he is not waiting quietly for the court process to define his future. Whether the new project becomes a full media comeback or a separate digital venture, Sandilands’ message shows he is preparing to keep his audience close while the legal battle continues.

His next move could also reflect a wider shift in entertainment media, where high-profile broadcasters increasingly use social platforms, podcasts and direct-to-fan formats to maintain influence outside traditional network structures. For broader industry context, Australian Radio Network remains one of the country’s major commercial radio groups.
