Bondi Vet television personality Chris Brown, occasional KIIS fill-in host Amy Gerard and former Nova star Jack Charles have been named as the Sydney trio replacing Kyle Sandilands and Jackie "O" Henderson.

The announcement comes after radio giant ARN cancelled the Kyle and Jackie O show after an on-air dispute in February.

Three familiar faces have been picked to fill the gap left in Sydney's radio scene by long-time co-presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O.

ARN announced the trio on Monday, seven months after an on-air dispute preceded a split between the then-hosts of KIIS FM's breakfast program.

The announcement is the first of two, with another team to be announced soon to replace the outgoing hosts' broadcast in Melbourne.

Following their dispute in Feebruary, Sandilands and Henderson were let go by ARN after 27 years on the air.

Sandilands and Henderson were the company's best-paid talent, having secured a 10-year contract worth a reported $200 million in 2023.

Sandilands launched a subscription-based program, Kyle Sandilands Live, in August, featuring NSW Premier Chris Minns as his debut guest.
