The golden mic has officially been switched on, but it was a catastrophic start for Kyle Sandilands<\/a> as the first episode of Kyle Sandilands Live hit the airwaves<\/a> on Monday morning. <\/p>\n

As tech issues plagued the show continuously, Sandilands\u2019 manager Bruno Bouchet even had to suggest a hard reset mid-way through and the team terminated the show for around a minute.<\/p>\n

\"Kyle<\/p>\n

Kyle Sandilands\u2019 latest venture got off to a clunky start. \u00a0Kyle Sandilands live<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to terminate everything,\u201d Bouchet told Sandilands as they debated the decision. <\/p>\n

The show disappeared for 30 seconds with all live streams dumped. <\/p>\n

For a brief pause they went off air, but the tech issues continued as an opening clip played over and over while Sandilands still continued to struggle with audio in the background. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not used to all this bullshit here with the video and the audio,\u201d Sandilands said in the background. <\/p>\n

The live show crossed to their first dual video guests of the day, with the echoing sound continuing as they kicked off Tradie vs Lady. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re off to a clunky start,\u201d Sandilands told listeners as tech issues took over in the opening minutes of his show. <\/p>\n

Sandilands admitted it was a \u201cdigital mess\u201d behind the scenes with glitching audio, echo-ing mics and even the host unable to hear things at some points in the first minutes. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all here and it\u2019s a digital mess behind the scenes,\u201d Sandilands said. <\/p>\n

The crew is all back, with Bruno Bouchet \u2013 Sandilands\u2019 manager \u2013 there in the audio room, Jaimee Blazquez \u2013 best known as Mayo \u2013 there with Mary Madigan and Brooklyn Ross all in the studio. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou put together a a radio station in one month. Do you expect things to go smoothly?\u201d Ross asked. <\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I do Brooklyn,\u201d the shock jock quipped back. <\/p>\n

Ross\u2019 return to working with Sandilands<\/a> was one of the biggest surprises, and he admitted that it wasn\u2019t easy to get him across from ARN. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know if I would be here actually today, Kyle,\u201d Ross said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kyle Sandilands\u2019 latest venture got off to a clunky start. \u00a0Kyle Sandilands Live<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you quit a job on Friday, normally you can\u2019t work somewhere else the next Monday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sandilands admitted he made a few \u201chigh end phonecalls\u201d to get things over the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ross was originally banned from broadcasting for two months, and he piped in to confirm that it was \u201ceight weeks\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI basically couldn\u2019t do anything, but I would have got paid by then, which was nice,\u201d Ross added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLike, I could have had a holiday. That would have been fine, but I wanted to be here from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the show continued different audio issues hit not only Sandilands, but with playing interview grabs and calling in guests and there were several moments where it seemed chaotic as they tried to get things moving along. <\/p>\n

At one point Sandilands tried to play audio of Ross from his time at KIIS weeks ago when he confirmed that he would not be leaving ARN \u2013 although it took a lot to get the clip to play, then for the audio in studio to return. <\/p>\n

After that Sandilands got up and walked out of the studio to go into the audio room to yell at the team to fix the issues and press the right buttons. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cDid anyone test any of the things the seem to be failing today?\u201d \u00a0Kyle Sandilands Live<\/p>\n

\u201cDid anyone test any of the things the seem to be failing today?\u201d Sandilands, clearly getting frustrated, asked his team. <\/p>\n

At that moment New South Wales premiere Chris Minns walked in, in preparation for a ribbon cutting ceremony. <\/p>\n

Minns came into the guest studio and had a chat with Sandilands, with the pair revealing they recently bumped into each other while on family holidays in the Blue Mountains. <\/p>\n

Sandilands joked he thought it was a fan or a \u201cmeth head\u201d who approached him in line at an icecream shop, until he recognised Anna \u2013 Minns\u2019 wife. <\/p>\n

Minns was rugged up with a beanie and everything braving the weather, which resulted in the scruffy look. <\/p>\n

After the pair had a chat, Minns went back into the main studio to cut the ribbon and officially open the Kyle Sandilands Live show \u2013 where another tech issue hit. <\/p>\n

Despite having cameras and mics throughout the studio, as the countdown kicked off the live stream flicked to Bouchet in the control room, not on Minns. <\/p>\n

The ceremony was done and dusted without making it onto the live stream. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The golden mic has officially been switched on, but it was a catastrophic start for Kyle Sandilands as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":849598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-849597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=849597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/849598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=849597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=849597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=849597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
