Radio bosses surprised by Bianca Dye as search for Kyle & Jackie O replacement continues
9 June 2026 Bianca Dye may have only been stepping in as host on KIIS FM’s breakfast show – but behind the scenes, she’s fast becoming the name everyone at ARN is talking about.
Daily Mail understands the veteran radio host, 52, has stunned both listeners and network insiders alike, emerging as an unexpected standout during her recent fill‑in appearances across Sydney and Melbourne last month following the cancellation of the Kyle & Jackie O show in March.
Sources say Dye has far exceeded expectations. ‘Bianca has absolutely surprised people,’ one insider reveals. ‘There were expectations she’d do a solid job, but the reaction internally has been much stronger than anticipated.’
The surge of positive feedback comes as ARN continues working out the long-term future of its breakfast line-up – a decision that remains firmly under wraps.
