Kyle Sandilands has been fired by ARN Media, leading to the cancellation of the top-rated "Kyle and Jackie O Show" on Kiis FM. The termination notice was issued to Sandilands and his company, Quasar Media, following a dispute stemming from an on-air argument with his co-host, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, last month. ARN Media released a statement on Wednesday confirming the contract termination. Sandilands, however, has vowed to fight the decision to save his $100 million contract and return to the airwaves. The future of the show and Sandilands's career with ARN Media remains uncertain.
