- Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands has been sacked and his long-running programme, The Kyle and Jackie O Show, cancelled by the Australian Radio Network (ARN) due to alleged "serious misconduct".
- The termination follows a breakdown in relations with co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson, who stated she could no longer work with Sandilands after an on-air argument last month.
- Sandilands has rejected the termination, claiming ARN sabotaged negotiations and that he has a contract until 2034, vowing to pursue legal action.
- Henderson also denied quitting the show, stating the news came as a "shock" and that she is addressing the situation through legal avenues.
- The show, which first aired in 2004, was a major commercial asset for ARN, with Sandilands and Henderson having signed a $200m contract expected to run until 2034.
