Watchdog opens new investigation into Kyle & Jackie O
Media watchdog ACMA has commenced a formal investigation into the infamous Kyle & Jackie O lie detector test, it said today.
The move is in addition to the radio industry-wide inquiry into public participation in live segments announced by the Australian Communications & Media Authority last week.
ACMA’s announcement coincides with today’s return of the 2Day FM show after a three week absence. It comes after members of the public unhappy with network Austereo’s response to their initial complaints escalated them to the media authority.
I believe lettuce leaves are being moistened as I speak…
@Adam Paull. If I could personally give out awards for internet comments you would win in both the funny and wry categories.
“… contemporary standards of decency…” well we all know girls don’t have sex until they are married these days! Whether people like it or Kyle & Jackie O are the benchmark for Contemporary; the one fm breakfast show in Australia’s largest city. If you ask the girl involved, do you think she will feel let down by society because of the radio stunt or the fact that her alleged rapist is still prowling the streets?
Shouldn’t they be looking at decency AND degrading people.
They specialise in the latter
aww, shucks…
