The radio network behind The Kyle and Jackie O Show will have to comply with new broadcasting conditions after a ruling by Australia’s media watchdog.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has hit ARN Media, which owns KIIS FM where Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson host their show, with licensing conditions after being found guilty of several breaches since the start of last year.

On Monday, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) announced that the company could potentially face penalties, including fines, suspension, or even the cancellation of their broadcasting license.

Last week, one of the involved parties stated, “Contrary to ARN’s claims, I am not violating the contract. I am eager to be on air, to connect with my audience, and to continue the work I’ve dedicated my entire adult life to.”

His suspension expires tomorrow, however, Sandilands must prove he has taken steps to “remedy” his breaches.

The duo had inked a substantial $200 million contract with ARN in 2023, which was set to extend until 2034.

With Henderson’s departure and Sandilands’ suspension, the future of this significant contract is uncertain.

Requests for comment have been made to ARN.
