Sandilands-ARN Standoff: Contract Dispute Looms

0:00This is Sydney News today, every story, every city, every day. Radio Shock Jack Kyle Sandelands is locked in a standoff with ARN media over his $100 million contract, which runs until $20.30. The network pulled the Kyle and Jackie O'Sho off the air after Sandelands had an on-air blow-up with his co-host Jackie Henderson on February 20th. ARN suspended him on March 3rd and gave him two weeks to address misconduct claims, which he denies. The trouble started when Sandelands criticized Henderson's interest in horoscopes and astrology, calling it a problem. ARN announced that Henderson no longer wants to work with him, leading to the show's suspension. The pair had a massive $200 million deal expected to keep them on air for years. Fans and listeners have mixed feelings with many wanting Sandelands back on the mic. He is expressed regret for hurting Henderson's feelings and sent her an apology message right after the argument.
