ARN has announced that Up Late with Zach & Dom is the latest show to join the KIIS Network.
Broadcasting every Monday to Thursday evening from 10pm to midnight (AEDT and 9pm-11pm AEST), Up Late with Zach & Dom promises to “bring a fresh, funny and heartfelt perspective on the biggest issues of the day and the topics that you are just dying to discuss with your best mates.”
After meeting many years ago in a university group assignment, Zach Mander & Dom Fay decided to embark upon the world’s longest group assignment – the 10-year partnership now known as Zach & Dom.
Of the announcement of their new show, the duo said “We are so excited to be joining the KIIS Network on a full-time basis in 2023, and can’t wait to connect with the shift workers, taxi drivers, and insomniacs of the country each night.
“Both of us are also very excited to be the first ever KIIS FM national show to come out of Brisbane, and are aiming to do our home city proud. Brisbane has given Australia so many great things over the years, from the music of Powderfinger to the genius of Bluey. We can’t wait to tarnish this wonderful reputation with our new show.”
The boys are no strangers to the KIIS Network, with Zach & Dom previously hosting a national show on Saturdays through ARN’s podcast to broadcast strategy, as well as most recently hosting Summer Brekkie on KIIS 97.3 at the end of last year.
Zach Mander said, “With a toddler and newborn at home, my house doesn’t really sleep. So if I’m going to be up anyway, I thought I may as well do a radio show.”
Dom Fay added, “I may not have kids like Zach, but I like to think of this show as something of a child to me. I’m here to help it grow, give it all my love and care, and clean up after its many mistakes.”
ARN chief content officer Duncan Campbell said, “It’s great to see Zach & Dom continue to grow within the ARN family, and it’s another example of our podcast to broadcast strategy working as they move from KIIS Saturdays to the late-night slot.
“They are such a dynamic duo with enormous potential and we look forward to bringing their energy to a national audience.”
Up Late with Zach & Dom will launch on Monday 6 February and can be heard on KIIS 1065, KIIS 101.1 and KIIS 97.3 from 10pm to midnight (AEDT), as well as the free iHeart app.
