Sandilands vs ARN: Battle for $100M Contract

0:00Controversial radio host Kyle Sandilands showed up at federal court in Sydney for his first hearing against ARN, the company behind KIIS radio. He's suing over the sudden end to his $100 million contract. ARN pulled the plug on the deal the moment a two week deadline expired. They wanted him to fix what they called serious misconduct toward his longtime co-host, Jackie O'Henderson. Sandilands called the past couple of weeks, traumatic as he faced reporters outside court. He seemed tense but asked them to wish him luck before heading in. He claims his sharp words to Henderson on February 20th, which left her in tears, were nothing new after 27 years of on-air spats. In his view, ARN used it as a handy excuse to scrap their big money contracts. The case is just getting started and both sides have a lot riding on the outcome as more hearings loom ahead.
