The owner of KIIS FM has denied claims from Kyle Sandilands that Bondi Vet Chris Brown will replace the deposed shock jock.
Sandilands made the claim that Dr Brown would be his replacement on Sunday, appearing to get a tip-off during his new subscriber-based broadcast.
A spokeswoman for ARN Media, owner of Sandilands’ former home KIIS FM, denied the claim.
“Incorrect. We haven’t signed him,” the spokeswoman said.
Asked if the network was in discussions with Brown, the spokeswoman was less definitive: “We’re not commenting on any of the speculation. We’ll let you know when we have something to share.”
Speaking on the Sunday episode of his new show, Sandilands made the claim the well-known veterinarian and presenter must have soured on his contact with Seven West Media, which owns ARN rival Southern Cross Austereo.
“I’ve got an announcement to make. A little sneaky bit of information I’ve got,” Sandilands said.
“They’ve just signed Dr Chris Brown to replace me over at KIIS.”
Asked by a co-host how he knew, Sandilands said he knows “everything that happens in radio”.
