A tearful Robin Bailey has told listeners of her breakfast radio show she is fearful about how she will earn a living after being axed from FM station 97.3 for the second time.
Speaking about the on 97.3FM this morning, the veteran Brisbane radio host said: “I’ve just got to believe that something will happen, something good.”
Radio personality Robin Bailey has been axed from 97.3FM alongside co-hosts Corey Oates and Kip Wightman.
ARN, which owns the KIIS Network, announced last Thursday that the Robin, Kip & Corey Oats breakfast show would air for the last time on December 12.
The announcement came just months after former Broncos star Corey Oates joined hosts Bailey and Kip Wightman on the breakfast program.
In an emotional post on Facebook, Bailey took a swipe at the network, saying “seven amazing, talented, kind and compassionate people lost their jobs last Thursday”.
“Our industry care [sic] more about money than connection.”
Bailey has faced turmoil in her personal life and career, including the deaths of her first husband Tony Smart, who ended his life in 2014, and her second husband Sean Pickwell, who died from liver cancer.
In 2016, she was blindsided when 97.3FM did not renew her contract after 10 years on air. She returned to the station three years later, before last week’s axing.
The shake-up comes amid a turbulent period for Brisbane radio, with 4BC Mornings host Bill McDonald and Breakfast host Peter Fegan also confirming their departures in recent weeks.
