Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed one radio experience from her 20 years on air that makes her “cringe” just thinking about it.
Henderson and her Kyle and Jackie O Show co-host Kyle Sandilands launched their show to the Melbourne market in April 2024. But it did not have immediate success.
The show wrapped 2024 with a market share of just five per cent.

“Melbourne tuned in and instantly they heard some really f—ed up s–t,” she said recently at the Commercial Radio & Audio’s (CRA) Heard event.
“I cringe when I think about it.”
Henderson said the experience was really a “good thing” as it “humbled” the duo.

“It really made us reassess where we’re at, what we were doing with the show. Effectively we needed to do a reset.”
Henderson said getting into Melbourne radio would be “a slow burn.”
“We have to rely on the people of Melbourne re-tuning in and give it a second chance…”

Henderson spoke on stage at the Sydney radio event with her close friend and Besties co-founder Gemma O’Neill.
The star also opened up about her KIIS FM co-host Sandilands, who currently lives in Sydney, looking to buy a house in Melbourne.
“Kyle has gotten all wrapped up in buying a house in Melbourne and spending more time there,” she said at the event.

Sandilands made headlines this month after he revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show he needed surgery for a brain aneurysm.

“That’s a separate surgery, and I have very bad calcium buildup in the heart where I’m likely to have a heart attack,” he said on-air.
The star said his brain aneurysm surgery involves drilling a large hole in his skull.
“It’s in the front right hand side of my brain… they have to drill a hole through my skull the size of a drinking glass, pull that bit of skull out, and go into the brain.”
“They [will] put a titanium clip on the vein where the problem is and then they stitch me up with a plastic surgeon.”
Henderson and Sandilands have been on-air together since the mid-2000s.
