...its all to do with the time of year when the kangaroos leave Austarlia and go on vacation ( usually to Jersey). In order that the tourists visiting Australia wont be upset at the lack of kangaroos, they leave a sign which says K.O.A.S.

A lot of people have emailed me to ask why the kangaroos went from Austarlia to Jersey for their holidays? I believe ( or so the story goes) that when the Kangaroos all sat down with a cup of tea and looked at the holiday brochures, they noticed one for 'Jersey'. Since jersey is another word for 'jumper', the kangaroos, who naturally like to hop around, thought it would be the ideal place to go. They expected to see the inhabitants jumping around, and were a bit disappointed to find that the only people jumping around were the frogs who had gone there for the same reason. This of course led to a lot of unpleasantness. The frogs thought the kangaroos were quite coarse ( which theyre not) and the kangaroos thought the frogs rather snooty ( which they are). Hope that explains all.

I think its like this: since every radio station has a bunch of letters in its name, roger chose to use kaos because its about the apparent end of the world.
