This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''KIIS 1065''' (call sign: '''2WFM''') is a [[commercial broadcasting|commercial]] [[FM radio]] station in [[Sydney]], Australia, on a frequency of 106.5 [[MHz]]. KIIS 1065 is one of the flagship stations on [[ARN Media]]'s [[KIIS Network]]. The station's headline show is ''The Kyle and Jackie O Show''.

==History==

===2UW===
[[File:A wet Angel Place, Sydney, 1930s - Sam Hood (3293630577).jpg|thumb|left|Entrance to 2UW on left opposite the car, 1930s]]
[[File:SLNSW 11548 Children who entered an adventure story competition on 2UW receive Malvern Star bicycles from champion cyclist Hubert Opperman extreme right.jpg|thumb|left|July 1938: Children who entered an adventure story competition on 2UW receive [[Malvern Star]] bicycles from champion cyclist [[Hubert Opperman]] (extreme right)]]
The station, now known as KIIS, began life as '''2UW''', commencing transmission on 13 February 1925 on 1125 [[kHz]] on the [[AM band]].  On 1 September 1935, the frequency changed to 1110&nbsp;kHz and in 1978 changed again to 1107&nbsp;kHz.<ref>((cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17184965|title =  New Wave Lengths|newspaper = [[Sydney Morning Herald]]|date = 30 August 1935|page = 11|access-date = 25 April 2010))</ref> 2UW was the home of many live radio plays and had studios for live programmes at [[Market Street, Sydney|Market Street]] in Sydney, near the intersection with [[George Street, Sydney|George Street]].

The management of 2UW moved the station to 365 [[Kent Street, Sydney]] although for a time they retained the Market Street live audience theatre that had been used for live plays. One of its early breakfast presenters, Russ Walkington, had a character known as Gerald the Grasshopper who pre-dated Sammy Sparrow who appeared on [[2UE]] with [[Gary O'Callaghan]]. In 1935 it became the first radio station outside the [[United States]] (and thus the first in both the [[British Empire]] and the [[Southern Hemisphere]]) to broadcast 24 hours a day.<ref>Carty, Bruce ''On the Air: Australian Radio History'', privately published Gosford N.S.W., 2013</ref> During the 1940s and 1950s the format spread throughout the country and by the end of the 1960s, almost all commercial radio stations in Australia were broadcasting day-round.

From the early 1960s, 2UW moved away from its older audience and actively pursued the youth market through the introduction of a Top 40 format in response to the music coming from the United States and Great Britain and to provide a vehicle for the up-and-coming Australian local rock scene.

2UW was one of the most innovative AM radio stations in Australia during the mid-1960s through to the early 1970s thanks to the programming of Ray Bean. Ray introduced the NEW2UW (spoken as "new U-W") '1110' men comprising announcers John Melouney (breakfast), John Thompson (morning), Tony McLaren (afternoon), [[Ward "Pally" Austin]] (drive time), Rod Christopher (early evening), and Jeff Hall (late nights and Dial A Hit on Saturday nights). They were later joined by 'Baby' John Burgess, Donnie Sutherland, Phil Hunter, Gary Stewart, Graham Sawyer and a range of others, including [[Malcolm T. Elliott]], who took Top 40 radio to a new level as part of the NEW2UW format being broadcast from the Kent Street studios in Sydney. The '1110 men' also took their music to the streets with promotions in such places as beaches, parks and shopping centres. One of the most successful promotions was the NEW2UW studio at the [[Sydney Royal Easter Show]] at the old RAS showgrounds at Moore Park. This provided a unique opportunity for the radio station's stars to mingle with their listeners. In 1969 the NEW2UW managed to lure announcer [[John Laws]] from his drive time slot at 2UE and gave Laws his first morning programme in Sydney radio which was an immediate success, but also brought much confusion to the audience as the radio station went through a series of breakfast announcers and format changes which sought to capitalise on the success of the John Laws programme, while trying to hang on its huge audience - many of whom were not ready for the introduction of talk-back radio by their beloved NEW2UW.

The NEW2UW had a close association with the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph and operated a news service from its own Kent Street studios and a news studio in the Daily Telegraph Building in Park Street Sydney when the Telegraph papers were owned by Sir [[Frank Packer]]. The NEW2UW newsroom was operated by Don Rodgers a newspaper journalist who served Prime Ministers [[Ben Chifley|Chifley]] and [[John Curtin|Curtin]] during the Second World War as their press secretary. Don's style was very much in the mould of newspaper reporting, but he instilled in his staff the fundamentals of accuracy and clarity in their reporting.

===Mix 106.5===
2UW was one of two Sydney AM radio stations to be successful in bidding for the right to convert to FM, and on 30 April 1994 commenced transmission on 106.5 [[MHz]] on the [[FM band]].<ref>((cite news | title = Fresh Mix for FM Radio (News and Features)| first = Sue | last = Lecky | page = 4 | newspaper = [[Sydney Morning Herald]]   | date = 30 April 1994 | access-date = 25 Apr 2010 | url = http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?docID=news940429_0079_0990))</ref> The familiar 2UW [[call sign]] was now broadcasting as '''Mix 106.5''', adopting its name and logo from [[WWMX]] in the United States. The official callsign became 2WFM, though this was not used on-air. The 1107&nbsp;kHz frequency is now assigned to [[Special Broadcasting Service|SBS Radio]].

The new station was positioned as "Sydney's Best Mix from the '70s, '80s and '90s" with an [[adult contemporary]] music format. In 2000 the station dropped 70's music from its playlist. The only announcer to remain at the station through 2UW's relaunches, and the subsequent FM conversion, was [[Trevor Sinclair (radio presenter)|Trevor Sinclair]]. Sinclair departed the station in 2001.

A further relaunch of the station took place in 2004, with parent company [[ARN Media|ARN]] consolidating branding across its [[KIIS Network|Mix Network]] of stations. In conjunction with new programming and aiming to attract a younger demographic, the station adopted the positioner "Sydney. Feel Good".

In 2010, Mix 106.5 went with a revamp of the station in conjunction with new shows and music demographic. Among those changes was the new slogan "Sydney's Fresh Mix". Having limited success in 2010, by 20 December the station had revived its position to "Sydney's Best Mix of the '80s, '90s and Now", with the return of Love Songs during the day.

On 30 January 2013, the station again revamped with a new programming line-up. Breakfast was presented by [[Sami Lukis]] and [[Yumi Stynes]], with [[Tim Ross|Tim 'Rosso' Ross]] presenting a drive show networked to [[KIIS 101.1|Mix 101.1]] Melbourne.

In November 2013, ''[[The Kyle & Jackie O Show]]'' departed the breakfast timeslot at rival station [[2Day FM]]. ARN quickly announced that show would be moving to "a whole new radio station" on 106.5FM in 2014.<ref>((cite web|title=Kyle and Jackie 0 confirm move to ARN's 106.5|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/kyle-and-jackie-0-confirm-move-to-arns-1065/story-fn907478-1226771217409|publisher=news.com.au|access-date=12 March 2014|date=29 November 2013))</ref> With the announcement came speculation that the station would be rebranded as KIIS FM, borrowing its name from [[KIIS-FM]] Los Angeles. On 8 December, ARN confirmed that Mix 106.5 will be relaunched in 2014 as ''KIIS 1065'', with Kyle & Jackie O taking over the breakfast timeslot and syndicating their evening version of their programme to ARN's sister Mix stations.<ref>((cite web|title=Australia's newest radio station|url=http://arntrnassets.mediaspanonline.com/radio/arn/1110823/MEDIA-RELEASE---AUSTRALIA-S-NEWEST-RADIO-STATION--SYDNEY-S-KIIS-1065.pdf|publisher=Australian Radio Network|access-date=17 December 2013|date=8 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217224122/http://arntrnassets.mediaspanonline.com/radio/arn/1110823/MEDIA-RELEASE---AUSTRALIA-S-NEWEST-RADIO-STATION--SYDNEY-S-KIIS-1065.pdf|archive-date=17 December 2013|url-status=dead))</ref>

===KIIS 1065===
KIIS 1065 was launched at 5:54((nbsp))am, 20 January 2014. Shortly after the name change was announced, [[Melbourne, Australia|Melbourne]] [[narrowcast]]er [[Kiss FM Australia|Kiss FM]] launched the "Kiss Off ARN" campaign, stating that ARN's new branding was a breach of their trademark, and that the station would be pursuing legal action.<ref>((cite web|title=Cease and Desist ARN |url=https://www.radioinfo.com.au/news/cease-and-desist-using-kiis-name|publisher=RadioInfo.com.au|access-date=18 December 2013|date=27 November 2013))</ref> However, in February 2014, the two parties reached a "confidential agreement", and the issue never made it to court.<ref>((cite web|title=Kiss and KIIS to co-exist, as legal battle ends|url=http://www.radioinfo.com.au/news/kiss-and-kiis-co-exist-legal-battle-ends|publisher=RadioInfo.com.au|access-date=12 March 2014|date=27 February 2014))</ref>
