Kyle Sandilands reveals projected multi-million annual income for his newly launched subscription radio show

Kyle Sandilands appears to have lofty ambitions for the commercial success of his new subscription radio show, predicting it will generate millions of dollars in annual revenue.

A producer for Kyle Sandilands Live shared a post on social media on Sunday which captured the very ambitious ideas about the show's earning potential.

The post showed a photo of a handwritten note sketching out how many annual subscribers the show needs to generate $20 million in revenue.

'Kyle and Jackie O Show had 1.7 million cumulative listeners. If 100,000 listeners at $17.95 a month = $1,295,000 a month, $15,560,000 a year,' the note read.

'If 130,000 listeners at $17.95 a month, then $20,202,000 per year.' 

The figures would require Sandilands to convert a significant share of his former radio audience - who listened to his KIIS FM breakfast show with Jackie 'O' Henderson for free - into paying subscribers at almost $18 a month.

It is an ambitious goal, particularly one launching without the guaranteed reach of a commercial radio network. 

However, a confident Sandilands recently appeared in a social media clip in which he described what made subscribing to his show such good value.

'You are getting the super show that you love, live 6am - 10am Monday to Friday! Music, news, no ads, no censorship, so if I call someone a c**t then they hear it,' he began.

'We will still do a live radio show! The only way to get it is just a few dollars a week!'

Meanwhile, Sandilands' much-hyped subscription radio venture got off to a rocky start on Monday morning, with technical glitches, awkward silences and an expletive-laden outburst unfolding live on air.

The radio shock jock appeared increasingly frustrated as his team battled persistent audio issues during the show's launch, which costs listeners $99 a year to access.

At one point, Sandilands could be heard berating staff as the broadcast struggled to get underway. 

'When I ask a question, am I supposed to hear her answer? Why do you not understand how to use the microphone?' he fumed.

Following several seconds of dead air, Sandilands told listeners he was 'leaving the room for a second', prompting newsreader Brooklyn Ross to urge him not to yell at employees. 

'I'm not yelling!' Sandilands shot back.

Moments later, microphones picked up the presenter storming into another room where staff were working as he tried to resolve the technical problems. 

'Need to hear what we're putting onto the radio,' he said before launching into a profanity-filled complaint.

'Bring it in here on a f***ing Apple TV... f**k me dead.'

Meanwhile, several subscribing listeners took to the comments begging for the audio and technical issues to be resolved.

'The audio is terrible when you cross to the ensemble,' one fan wrote, referring to staff members Bruno Bouchet and Dean Royston.

'I'll pay an extra $100 so we don't have to hear Bruno,' another added.

Nearly an hour into the broadcast, Sandilands finally played the show's first song, declaring he was now free to choose music based on personal taste rather than programming demands.

He complained about being forced to play the 'unlistenable music record companies shove down our throats' during his commercial radio career.

The launch marks a dramatic new chapter for Sandilands following the collapse of his long-running partnership with Jackie 'O' Henderson earlier this year.
