Why it's trending
The announcement of Jaimee Blazquez as executive producer for Kyle Sandilands' new show has generated buzz, as she was a beloved figure on The Kyle and Jackie O Show. Her departure from KIIS FM after the infamous on-air clash adds drama, and fans are eager to see the new show's lineup and launch on August 10.
Kyle Sandilands has named Jaimee Blazquez, better known as 'Producer Mayo', as executive producer for his new show 'Kyle Sandilands Live', set to launch on August 10. Blazquez announced the role on social media, sharing a photo with Sandilands and writing, 'Excited to share that I have stepped into the role of executive producer for @kylesandilandslive.' She added that she has loved working with Sandilands for the past nine years and looks forward to continuing on this new venture.
Blazquez left KIIS FM in February after the on-air clash between Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson on February 20. She had taken maternity leave and welcomed a baby girl on February 24. In a March 5 statement, she said she was 'gutted' over the breakdown of the show, calling the team a 'family' and hoping to work with both Sandilands and Henderson again. Now, she has reunited with Sandilands for his new project.
The new show is expected to feature other former KIIS FM staff. Sandilands previously said he had 'already scooped up those who got made redundant' from the old show. However, KIIS FM newsreader Brooklyn Ross confirmed he will not join Sandilands and will remain at the radio station. The show's launch date is August 10.
The appointment signals Sandilands' effort to rebuild his team after the split with Henderson. Fans and colleagues have congratulated Blazquez, with one commenter saying, 'so glad he’s getting majority of the old team back together again.' The show's success may depend on how many former listeners follow Sandilands to his new platform.
