Kyle Sandilands' $100M Contract Canceled: Legal Battle Ahead

0:00It's March 18th, here's what's happening in Entertainment. Al-Sroian Radio Star, Kyle Sandelands, lost his $100 million contract with ARN this week. The network canceled the Kyle and Jackie O Show on K-I-S FM after terminating his deal. This follows a heated on-air clash that led to his 14-day suspension. Earlier last month, co-host Jackie O Henderson's contract ended too. He told Bosses, she can no longer work with Sandelands after his tough comments left her upset. ARN cited his February 20th behavior as serious misconduct breaching their agreement with his production company. Workplace lawyer Mia Pantekis says the fight ahead will be high stakes and costly. The key issue is whether his actions counted as misconduct and if the contract allowed the termination. Sandelands plans to claim ARN broke the deal first. In a statement, the 54-year-old rejected the decision outright. He called it invalid and said his lawyers warned them last week.

1:01Sandelands described the spat as a normal argument after 25 years together, blaming the network for making it impossible to fix. Now the matter heads to lawyers, with experts noting it, won't be easy for him to win. Much depends on contract details about on-air antics. Sandelands insists he needs to be back on the air soon.
