You're listening to Sydney News today, powered by the Daily News Now. Almost one month after a heated on-air class between host Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O'Henderson, their popular K.I.S. FM show bases a big decision on Tuesday. The duo hasn't appeared together publicly since February 20th, when Sandilands called out Henderson's interest in horoscopes and astrology, saying a made her unfocused. They signed a $200 million contract with ARN Media that runs until 2034. ARN Media stepped in after Henderson said she could no longer work with Sandilands. The network suspended him and gave him two weeks to address Ms. Kanda claims, which he denied, that deadline expires Tuesday, and they might fire him if he doesn't fix things. Both hosts have shared their side. Sandilands apologized for his words, called Henderson important in his life, and begged ARN to honor the deal so he can give back on air with his. Audience, Henderson said she didn't quit, fell shocked and saddened, and is handling

it legally while denying media spin. Sandilands stressed his commitment to the show he's done for over 20 years, while Henderson called the fallout heartbreaking. Fans and staff have noticed the tension building for a while. Meanwhile, even if they patch things up, the show will face stricter rules. The Australian Communications and Media Authority slapped new licensed conditions on ARN after repeated decency breaches, like crude games and explicit talk. No highly offensive or sexual content allowed in their programs now, and ARN plans to review it. The Daily News Now is made possible with support from our sponsor. Your pillow just got smarter.
