Broadcasters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie “Jackie O” Henderson have been found to have breached decency standards by the radio industry watchdog.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has ruled two segments that aired on Melbourne‘s KISS 1011 and Sydney‘s KISS 1065 in June last year included “vulgar graphic sexualised descriptions”.

ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin stated that the segments were likely to offend any “reasonable person” tuning into the broadcast, as they did not align with community standards.

“This content went beyond the bounds of decency expected by the community and was done so deliberately and provocatively,” O’Loughlin said.

The investigations were launched in response to a listener complaint.

Double T Radio was also found to have breached the Commercial Radio Code of Practice for not responding to a listener complaint within 30 days.

Radio station KIIS has hit back, saying the program is suitable for its “broad-minded adult demographic”.

O’Loughlin noted, “Despite having two program censors hired by the broadcaster as a result of previous ACMA enforcement measures, unsuitable content continues to be aired.”

No fines or penalties will be issued while the authority conducts further investigations into the show and network.
