  Kyle Sandilands says he's still in denial over Jackie O PLUS $2m payday for new streaming service

  Aug 6, 202658 min

  Kyle Sandilands joins Rob McKnight for a wide-ranging chat ahead of the launch of his new streaming service, KSLive, this Monday. Kyle reveals the new venture has already pulled in nearly $2 million in subscriptions before a single episode has aired — including a strange spike of signups out of the EU large enough that European tax authorities contacted his accountants to check the business was legitimate. Rob puts it to Kyle directly: is he in denial about the collapse of his on-air partnership with Jackie O? Kyle admits he "just refused to believe it" even after seeing the paperwork, and opens up on what he says was a fifty-fifty relationship, the lawyers, the Zoom calls, and why he still says he'd "die for Jackie" despite it all. Nearly $2 million in the bank before KSLive has even launched EU tax authorities contact his accountants over a surge in overseas subscriptions Admits he "refused to believe it" when told Jackie wanted to leave the show Says he'd still "die for Jackie" despite the fallout On staff taking down photos of him and Jackie — and why he put them back up McKnight Tonight streams Monday, Wednesday & Thursday at 8pm AEST.
