Kyle Sandiland says his co-host Jackie O'Henderson will return to their top-rated K-I-S FM breakfast show, but he has not set a date as her break. Stretches into a second week, the pair host Australia's highest paid radio program, under a 10-year, $200 million deal. Henderson stepped away after Sandiland's called her out on air for being unfocused during a segment. The incident happened on February 20th when Sandiland's criticized her for checking horoscopes mid-discussion, saying a show to pattern others had noticed. She was due back on Monday but stayed off, leaving fans wondering about the future of the duo. Industry insiders speculate Henderson might come back in a lighter role to ease tensions. Listeners and media watchers are divided, with some praising Sandiland's blunt style and others worried about the show's stability.
