Is it all over for the Kyle and Jackie O Show? Is their fate written in the stars? If their on-air row wasn't a stunt, is their relationship repairable? What does that all mean for ARN and radio in general?

Sky Newsβs new identity looks and sounds familiar. Will News 24 be confused with the ABC service formally known as News 24, which is actually on channel 24? Also, Baldrick's cunning plan in Ipswich and the Muppets take Brisbane.

Rumour has it that a radio segment could be "gamed" by people wanting publicity for their big events. But I'm NOT saying it has been. Also: why QPAC doesn't want your (old-school) money.
