Kyle Sandilands and Jackie “O” Henderson are no longer a radio team, after 22 years of hosting the top-rating Kyle and Jackie O Show together, ARN Media has tonight announced.
The pair were little more than a year into a ten-year, $200 million contract with KIIS parent company ARN, the biggest radio deal in Australian history.
The announcement:
The sooner Vile is off air the better. Ms Henderson/JackieO was the only redeeming feature to ameliorate the boorish, ignorant & arrogant presence of her co-host.
He was unpleasant, abusive and sociopathically narcissistic and disruptive whenever a topic or subject required the slightest EQ or double digit IQ..
Whenever he was off – “UNWELL” in the phrase used for Jeffrey Bernard of UK Spectator infamy – due to his oft admitted/proclaimed/boasted about use of illegal drugs – Jackie carried the show and made it an entirely different experience, enjoyable and entertaining.
My preference would be for her to team up with the current E/P Natalie Penfold and perhaps the newsreader Brooklyn Ross and present a fun, non abusive and richly interesting program.
I guess she must have seen it coming…
Mercury Retrograde strikes again!
I’m frankly glad the dire duo are no longer together.
Never understood why people like this type of nasty bogan f.m radio that demeans women, is homophobic , racist etc
Jackie O has enabled his behaviour for many years untill there was pressure to get higher ratings on a VERY lucrative contract..ratings in Melbourne were dismall so she finally broke…
Im thinking there is much more to this story that involves the MF Witches who were relentless activists and targeted their sponsors to get them off air..
I’m waiting for that story to be told
… ARN management/HR spent the past week goading her on, doing anything they could to get out of this $20M white elephant contract, and Jackie fell for it.
ARN management got lucky here, but shareholders should still kick them out for being so reckless to start with.
Do you reckon their offer to her of a different show on the network will have 10yrs & $10milly attached to it? It shouldn’t, but considering ARN management, who knows.
Sell A1N.AX at market on the open & never look back.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind!
Watch that share price climb now they can get out of the expensive contracts – phew says Stephenson!
It was in the stars.
sah-weet
ARN Media will be STOKED that they got out of that deal!
Finally, some good news!
