Mumbrellacast: It’s the end of the (stupidly big salary) world as we know it

The highest paid radio host was officially terminated from his job this week, after his equal-highest-paid co-host Jackie Henderson was let go a few weeks back. We’re talking about Kyle Sandilands of course, which is where we begin this episode of the Mumbrellacast.

Is this the end of the saga, or just the beginning? Or the long, long middle? We pick apart the wording from Kyle’s impassioned media release, issued a few minutes before his ex-bosses at ARN made the news official on the ASX on Wednesday morning. He has called the lawyers in, and is claiming that his former bosses made it impossible to actually remedy the alleged breach.

Surely Sandilands won’t give up his $100m pie without a dragged-out, knock-’em-down legal battle. We speculate wildly on what might happen next.
