ACMA finds 2GB failed to disclose commercial ties with The Star
Alan Jones has caught the ire of yet another Australian Communications and Media Authority investigation over his time at 2GB, despite having left radio more than a year ago.
The ACMA found that 2GB and Jones breached broadcasting rules during multiple broadcasts of his former breakfast show by not disclosing a commercial agreement with The Star Entertainment Group.
On multiple occasions in September and October, 2019, Jones discussed the Ritz-Carlton development, a project commissioned by The Star, but failed to disclose the aforementioned commercial agreement. At the time 2BG was owned by and under the operational control of Macquarie Media, which was then wholly acquired by Nine Entertainment Co in November 2019.
