Krista Thomas is a radio newsreader. And apparently, she has too many opinions.
So many, in fact, that she might have just lost her job over them.
Krista works on the massively-rating Kyle and Jackie O Show, on KIIS FM in Sydney, part of the large Australian Radio Network (ARN).
As is the way with FM breakfast show newsreaders. Krista is less of a straight reporter, and more a bit-player in the show’s daily cast.

Regular listeners would know these things about her.
– She dates a cricket-player, Moises Henriques.
– She has a dog, Moreton, who she dotes on.
– And she regularly disagrees on-air with the tsar of Sydney radio – Kyle Sandilands.
Krista and Kyle been known to go head-to-head after the news on whatever topic Krista has been reporting, from Sydney’s controversial bar lock-out laws, to whether or not cricketers “play-up” on tour. Sometimes, their debates get heated.
And apparently, listeners didn’t like it. A source is reporting that before Krista was fired, a manager told her of a listener survey that found an “outspoken woman going up against Kyle” was a turn-off for fans.
