About

Kyle Sandilands is a radio host, formerly of the top-rating "Kyle and Jackie O Show" on Kiis FM. He's currently newsworthy due to his termination by ARN Media following an on-air argument with his co-host, Jackie 'O' Henderson. Sandilands is contesting his sacking, vowing to fight to save his contract. He has apologized to Henderson and expressed his desire to get the program back on air. The situation has also led to Jackie O stating she did not quit or resign. Kiis FM faces restrictions on airing strong sexual content on any program hosted by Sandilands and/or Henderson for five years, with potential license cancellation for breaches. Sandilands' lawyer argues the court case shouldn't be a broad inquiry into his career, but rather focus on the termination itself. The future of the radio show and Sandilands' employment remain uncertain.
