Speculation is mounting that Gold FM stalwarts Amanda Keller and Brendan Jones could be readying to jump ship to a rival network.

The pair, who have been hosting breakfast at the Sydney station 101.7 (formerly WSFM) for 20 years, have been rumoured to be eyeing off a spot at Triple M.

According to recent reports, management at Gold are contemplating shifting the pair’s popular Jonesy and Amanda show to the drive-time slot.

Taking their current spot would be Melbourne based Gold star Christian O’Connell.

Since this would mean a salary cut for Jonesy and Amanda, reported The Australian’s Media Diary on Monday, insiders say that the pair are ‘in talks’ with Triple M.

Keller, 63, and Jones, 57, could be a catch for Triple M, after their Sydney breakfast team suffered a brutal blow in the third radio ratings survey of 2025.

The Triple M trio of Beau Ryan, Aaron ‘Woodsy’ Woods and Cat Lynch’s lost 1.5 per cent of the market share in survey two, and dropped another 1.5 in the latest survey.

This puts them with a 4.4 market share from a previous 5.9.

Meanwhile, Jonesy and Amanda finished third in the survey with a 9.3 per cent audience share, with 2GB’s Ben Fordham in second place.

It comes after the wildly popular Kyle & Jackie O Show was again number one in FM breakfast in Sydney, with a market share of 12.5 (up by 0.2).

Though their performance in Melbourne has slightly dipped again and they dropped 0.7 to a 5.1 market share following the gains they made last survey.

Sydney juggernauts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson have been embroiled in the battle since their multimillion-dollar expansion into the city saw ex KIIS FM stars Jason ‘Jase’ Hawkins and Lauren Phillips be axed.

On April 29, 2024 Sandilands and Henderson took The Kyle & Jackie O Show to Melbourne in a huge multimillion-dollar expansion deal.

Since this would mean a salary cut for Jonesy and Amanda, reported The Australian’s Media Diary on Monday, insiders say that the pair are ‘in talks’ with Triple M.

The move triggered the axing of Hawkins and Phillips own KIIS FM breakfast show.

Sandilands and Henderson have since struggled to capture the Melbourne market.

In November, Sandilands vowed to reduce the graphic sexual content on his KIIS FM radio show this year to appeal to the Melbourne audience more broadly.

Brisbane listeners, meanwhile, have only embraced the pain tentatively with their syndicated drive-time slot, ‘Hour of Power’ finishing this survey with an 11 per cent share of the audience.

The result puts them behind the Nova, B105 and Triple M in the same slot.
