Overview

  • ARN confirmed via an ASX statement that it has terminated Kyle Sandilands’ contract with Quasar Media and that The Kyle & Jackie O Show will no longer be presented.
  • Sandilands rejected the decision, said his lawyers deem the termination invalid, and signalled he will sue to enforce his reported $100 million deal.
  • The termination followed a 14‑day suspension and ultimatum to remedy alleged serious misconduct tied to a February 20 on‑air clash with Jackie O Henderson.
  • ACMA has imposed five‑year licence conditions on ARN/KIIS after repeated 2025 breaches, requiring stricter compliance with decency rules and warning of stronger enforcement.
  • Henderson’s services agreement was previously ended after she told ARN she could not continue working with Sandilands, and she has indicated she is pursuing legal avenues.
