ARN have lost another hugely popular radio<\/a> duo as Will McMahon\u00a0and\u00a0Woody Whitelaw announce they will leave KIIS at the end of 2026.<\/p>\n

The hosts behind the Will & Woody Show will depart after eight years with the network, as ARN looks to take a \u201crefreshed approach\u201d to its lineup<\/a> in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are devastated we won\u2019t be continuing to do\u00a0what we truly love next year and will sorely miss hearing the stories of everyone who contributed to the show,\u201d McMahon\u00a0and Whitelaw said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was always the listeners who made the show, so we are deeply thankful to you all. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also\u00a0incredibly\u00a0grateful to ARN for allowing us to live out our dream for the last 8 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuess we\u2019ll now have to finally figure out how to make LinkedIn profiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The duo have been with KIIS since 2019 and command a loyal national audience across radio, social media, and podcasts.<\/p>\n

ARN Chief Content Officer Kerri Elstub said they had made \u201ca huge contribution to the network\u201d in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve brought their own unique energy, humour and personality to KIIS and we thank them for everything they\u2019ve given the network over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish Will & Woody all the very best for the future and look forward to seeing what they do next. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the meantime, they still have plenty of great radio ahead of them before the end of the year, and we look forward to celebrating their contribution and giving them the send-off they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

McMahon\u00a0and Whitelaw\u2019s exit comes seven months after ARN lost powerhouse<\/a> duo Kyle Sandilands<\/a> and Jackie O Henderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kyle<\/p>\n

Henderson and Sandilands were on air for 27 years before their relationship spectacularly crumbled on air in February 2026. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Henderson took time off after an on-air bust up with Sandilands in February, then ARN announced her exit from The Kyle and Jackie O Show.<\/p>\n

Henderson insisted she had not quit or resigned.<\/p>\n

Sandilands was then pulled off-air and his contract with ARN was terminated, prompting Sandilands to kick off a $100 million lawsuit against his former employer in March.<\/p>\n

Exactly one week after Sandilands filed his suit, Henderson filed a $82.25 million suit against ARN.<\/p>\n

ARN reached a $12 million settlement with Sandilands in June, while Henderson\u2019s contract claim will head to court next month.<\/p>\n

Sandilands has since kicked off his own independent subscription breakfast show, Kyle Sandilands Live, where he has continued his shock jock antics in between technical difficulties.<\/p>\n

Henderson has been lying low since her radio exit, but it\u2019s unlikely she\u2019ll return as part of ARN\u2019s revamped 2027 breakfast radio offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARN have lost another hugely popular radio duo as Will McMahon\u00a0and\u00a0Woody Whitelaw announce they will leave KIIS at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-886530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886530","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=886530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
