History
editOn October 29th, 2025 it was announced that it would take its KIIS and Gold networks national with the creation of new DAB+ digital stations for KIIS in Perth and for Gold in Adelaide and Brisbane, thereby giving both networks an outlet in all five capital cities.[1]
On January 19th, KIIS Perth launches replacing under preforming sister station CADA. Many people did not know about the station due to no announcement about its launch.
On February 20th, The Kyle and Jackie O Show ended after only being on air for a month, making it one of the shortest running breakfast shows for Perths radio history. The reason for the show ending was because of Jackie O leaving the show after Kyle on air argument. Kyle was shortly terminated later.[2]
On March 4th KIIS Breakfast took over The Kyle and Jackie O show. The show has had a rotation of many hosts in its short time including Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small, Abbie Chatfield, Mike E.[3]The show plans to end when ARN finds proper hosts.

Criticism
editOn January 19th, KIIS Perth launched but there was no prior date announced and when launched there was no party or event for it compared to sister station KIIS 1023 which had a launch party for its rebrand.
People also have negative connotations with the station due to the hatred of Kyle and Jackie O in Western Australia.
