ACMA imposes licence conditions on defunct Kyle and Jackie O show
Kyle and Jackie O at the 2022 ACRAs
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has finally imposed additional licence conditions on the Kyle and Jackie O show. This comes more than four months after the watchdog first declared its intentions to do so — and despite the show being taken off air earlier this month.
The conditions relate to ARN licensees in Sydney and Melbourne, and apply when broadcasting the Kyle and Jackie O Show, or any other program hosted by or featuring Kyle Sandilands or Jacqueline Henderson.
They restrict the show from broadcasting content “which is highly offensive or which contains strong and explicit sexual references by the standards of an ordinary reasonable listener.”
ACMA defines sexual references as including “spoken words and/or sound effects that would be understood by the ordinary reasonable listener as having a sexual meaning.”
