‘He knows that they’re scared’: Melbourne breakfast’s #1 Christian O’Connell ‘excited’ by Kyle & Jackie O’s invasion

Kyle Sandilands has taken aim at almost all of his radio rivals since hitting the Melbourne market in April, but the city’s #1 FM host isn’t worried at all – in fact, he loves it.

Appearing on a new episode of Mumbrella’s one-on-one podcast, Gold 104.3’s Christian O’Connell said he is excited by the entrance of long-running Sydney heavyweights Kyle & Jackie O into Melbourne, even as the duo aim to take away the UK presenter’s crown.

“It’s interesting the shows he’s calling out on air. Spoiler alert – that’s deliberate, because he knows that they’re scared and he’s in their head. He’s taken up space in their head,” O’Connell told host Neil Griffiths.
