Kyle Sandilands′ longtime manager and best mate Bruno Bouchet has confirmed the former KIIS FM star’s highly anticipated new project is just weeks away.
Appearing on the Game Changers Radio podcast, Bouchet said Kyle Sandilands Live would launch on Monday, August 10 via his upcoming app.

“It’s a live breakfast show on Kyle’s very own platform, where you get the audio and the video, it’s uncensored, it’s ad-free,” he explained.
“Instead of taking traditional calls like you would through mobiles and landlines, it’s all video calls and I think it’s going to be a fair bit of fun.”
Bouchet confirmed that like a standard radio show, the show would also include music and a newsreader. A subscription would cost $99 annually, with no monthly option available at launch.
It will come after an already announced docuseries called At Home with Kyle, which Bouchet said would launch its first of four episodes in late July.
While Sandilands’ return to the airwaves was only weeks away, there was still a lot to do in preparation.
“Creating this platform and getting it all together, we’ve got some really good people to help us build it, so it’s not just me buying a video camera and a tripod and being like ‘all right Kyle, let it rip!’ It’s a bit more than that,” Bouchet said.
He was coy about details of what to expect from the first show, which they hop would be “as crazy and outrageous as possible”.
“I can’t let the cat out of the bag about who the newsreader is going to be – a fantastic female talent who I’m so pumped for her and Kyle to be riffing and do the show together,” he said.
“I think the chemistry is just off the charts between the two of them.”

He said Sandilands was also keen to address “everything that has happened since February 20″, the date of his explosive on-air disagreement with former co-host Jackie “O” Henderson that blew up The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Sandilands eventually settled with his previous employer ARN for $12 million over the termination of his reported $100 million contract.
As one of Sandilands’ closest confidants, Bouchet had seen the shock jock go through “every emotion” in the past four months.
“To his credit he kept it together very well. He’s very much a facts guy, so he enjoyed talking to lawyers because they’re all very matter-of-fact, and he was great throughout this whole period,” he said.

“Some days better than others, but he was OK. More than anything he started to get bored and restless, understandably.”
He said Sandilands had come out of it all a more “three-dimensional” person.
“I think you’ll see that there’s an evolution of Kyle as a broadcaster, as a personality,” he said.
